Crypto on the Balance Sheet: CFO Guide
Most companies think about crypto too late. They first ask whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or stablecoins could make sense for treasury. Then they ask which.

Most companies think about crypto too late. They first ask whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or stablecoins could make sense for treasury. Then they ask which.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are usually treated like they belong in the same mental folder. Two large crypto assets. Two liquid markets. Two tickers that show up.
Most traders spend too much time looking at the entry signal and too little time looking at the execution. That sounds harmless until you trade often.
Drawdown is one of the most honest risk metrics in trading. It does not care how good the strategy sounded. It does not care how clean the backtest.
Crypto regulation used to feel like background noise. For many investors, the market seemed to move faster than lawmakers. Exchanges listed tokens.
Most traders do not lose control in calm markets. They lose control when the market starts moving fast, when a position goes against them, when a coin.
Crypto volatility is usually discussed in the wrong tone. Some people treat it like a warning label. Others treat it like an opportunity machine. Both.
Stablecoins are often treated as if they were simply “digital dollars”. That is understandable, but it is too superficial. Anyone who trades actively.
Many traders spend hours searching for the perfect entry. They compare RSI, MACD, moving averages, trend lines, volume profiles, news, Bitcoin dominance.
The RSI is one of those indicators almost every trader has seen. One line. Two levels. 70 at the top. 30 at the bottom. And then the problem starts.
An exchange hack sounds to many like a problem for the exchange. But it is not just that. When a crypto exchange gets hacked, it does not only affect.
Crypto taxes are no longer a niche topic. Anyone trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, or other crypto assets must document better in 2026. This is not.
