The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has implemented fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin (BTC) and other eligible crypto assets. Under the new rules, companies will measure their crypto assets at fair value and update them at each reporting period. This will allow companies to realize both profits and losses based on the market prices of BTC, helping them keep up with the currency's fluctuations. The new accounting standard is suitable for fungible crypto assets that meet certain requirements, but NFTs, wrapped tokens, and internally generated digital assets are exempt. The update is expected to simplify reporting processes for companies holding BTC as treasury reserve assets and promote greater transparency and accurate valuation of crypto holdings. This rule change signals a further integration of BTC into the modern finance landscape.
