At least partly: High dose prednisone has a lot of side effects including sodium retention and hypertension. Uncontrolled asthma is also associated with hypertension. Have you consulted an allergist yet? If not, it is time to do so since there are likely more effective and less harmful treatments for your asthma.

Possibly: I am very concerned that you have been on prednisone for a year for asthma. That is not good at all. I think you need to step up your preventive asthma therapy, adding in other preventives to your inhaled steroid, among other things. See a specialist for this asap. Yes, the elevated BP may be steroid related.
