FASB provides regulatory clarity to companies holding crypto, accelerating institutional adoption of digital assets

Companies that hold cryptocurrency were delivered a long-awaited win on Wednesday after the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board voted through a key change to how digital assets are valued that could accelerate institutional adoption.
                                                                        

Groups that hold significant amounts of Bitcoin, Ether, and other tokens will be required to report these assets on a fair value basis, the FASB board voted on Wednesday, confirming changes recommended by the group almost a year ago.                   

    

“This upgrade to FASB accounting rules eliminates a major impediment to corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset."
