Securities & Asset Management: Crypto assets (ASU 2023-08)
Verbatim excerpt (370 words), formatting simplified. View full filing on EDGAR →In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This ASU addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the update for the condensed consolidated financial statements issued for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025, and it does not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not hold a material amount of crypto assets.
On January 23, 2025, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 122 (“SAB 122”), which rescinds the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 (“SAB 121”). SAB 121, issued March 31, 2022, provided interpretive guidance from the SEC regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard digital assets that an entity holds on behalf of customers. For public entities, SAB 122 is effective on a fully retrospective basis in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Additionally, SAB 122 was codified by the FASB in March 2025, under ASU 2025-02, Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. The Company has early adopted the guidance for the condensed consolidated financial statements issued for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and, therefore, no longer discloses safeguarded digital assets within Note 8 (“Goodwill, Intangible Assets, Net, and Digital Assets Held”), Note 13 (“Fair Value Measurement”), and the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption had no material impact on the previously reported condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company liquidated all digital assets held on behalf of customers in the third quarter of 2024.
There were no other applicable material accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025.
