New Crypto Accounting Standards To Boost Transparency For Corporate Investors Like MicroStrategy
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
The FASB has released an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to improve accounting and disclosure practices for certain crypto assets. The new standard requires entities to measure these assets at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in net income. This aims to reflect the actual economic impact of crypto assets on financial statements and mandates enhanced disclosure about crypto asset holdings. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years after Dec. 15, 2024, but early adoption is allowed. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) is among the firms that will be impacted by this change.
