In this video, I discuss important FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) accounting changes that will have long-term positive effects on corporate Bitcoin adoption.

By Bitcoin being moved to fair value accounting on corporate balance sheets, companies will now be able to both write up and write down their Bitcoin holdings, with the result probably flowing to the income statement.

Under the previous Bitcoin accounting regime, companies could only write down their Bitcoin holdings and take impairment charges.

People always underestimate the long-term effects of accounting changes on asset prices. This is huge win for publicly traded companies that choose to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, like MicroStrategy.

This accounting change will encourage many more public companies to buy and hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.

Fiat is a melting ice-cube. If you are a company holding large amounts of cash on your balance sheet, you are destroying shareholder value and should instead be moving a portion of that fiat into Bitcoin.

Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
