Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill, valuation allowances for income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, eVance Inc, eVance Capital Inc, Securus365, Inc., CrowdPay.us, Inc., OmniSoft, Inc., OLBit, Inc., DMINT, Inc., and DMINT Real Estate Holdings. The Company owns 100% of Cuentas SDI, LLC, which has been included in the consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable represents the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount (“FDIC”). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no cash in excess of the FDIC’s $250,000 coverage limit.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision maker group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President. The Company has two operating segments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. (see Note 17).

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

We account for equity-based transactions with employees and non-employees under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“Topic 718”), which establishes that equity-based payments to employees and non-employees are recorded at the grant date the fair value of the equity instruments the entity is obligated to issue when the employees and non-employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. Topic 718 also states that observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and, if available, should be used as the basis for the measurement for equity and liability instruments awarded in these share-based payment transactions. However, if observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments are not available, the fair value shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in Topic 718.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 does not include warrants to acquire 856,313 shares of common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, does not include 20,000 and 125,468 options, respectively, to purchase common stock because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities

The Company accounts for its investments under ASC 321, “Investments – Equity Securities,” which requires that investments in equity securities be measured at fair value with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains and losses in current period operations.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin

The Company obtains bitcoin through our mining activities, which is accounted for in connection with our revenue recognition policy. The bitcoin held is recorded as other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets initially measured at cost, in accordance with ASC 350 – “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The use of bitcoin is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. We do not amortize our bitcoin but assess the value for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s bitcoin was $0 and $312,565, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 11.14 bitcoin on hand which had a fair value of $470,633 based on the price of bitcoin of approximately $42,265. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a realized gain on our bitcoin transactions of $222,751 and $288,584, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is calculated once the asset has been received and is ready for its intended use, using half of the monthly depreciation in the first month and half of the monthly depreciation in the last month. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts with any gain or loss on the disposition included in the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes all capital assets utilizing the following criteria:

●

All land acquisitions;.

●

All buildings/facilities acquisitions and new construction;

●

Facility renovation and improvement projects costing more than $100,000;

●

Land improvement and infrastructure projects costing more than $100,000,

●

Equipment costing more than $3,000 with a useful life beyond a single reporting period (generally one year);

●

Computer equipment costing more than $5,000; and

●

Construction in Progress (CIP) for capital projects with a budget in excess of $100,000

The estimated useful lives for all the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

Item		Useful Life
Computer equipment		3 years
Software		10 years
Office furniture		5 Years
Buildings and improvements		30 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for its intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill. ASC Subtopic 350-30, which requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs to renew or extend the term of an intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

Included in intangible assets are merchant portfolios that are valued at fair value of merchant customers on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (7 years). See Note 4.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10 the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. Cash flow projections are sometimes based on a group of assets, rather than a single asset. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, the Company determines whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which it can identify the projected cash flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. If the fair value of an asset or asset group is determined to be less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, it was determined that the Company’s mining equipment and intangible assets were impaired per our analysis completed in accordance with ASC 360-10, and all was written down to fair value. As a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $2,962,469 for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairment expense of $12,902,788 which included a write down of $259,931 for mining equipment and a write down of $12,642,857 for intangible assets (see Note 4).

Goodwill

Goodwill

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company tests for indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

A summary of goodwill as of December 31, 2024, is as follows:

Acquisition of assets from Excel Corporation and its subsidiaries on April 9, 2018	$	6,858,216
Acquisition of 80.01% interest of Cuentas SDI, LLC on June 15, 2023 (see Note 7)		1,281,673
Goodwill balance as of December 31, 2024	$	8,139,889

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent contractual residual payments due from the Company’s processing partners or other customers. Residual payments are determined based on transaction fees and revenues from the credit and debit card processing activity of merchants for which the Company’s processing partners pay the Company. Based on collection experience and periodic reviews of outstanding receivables, we have recorded an allowance balance of $207,850 and $207,850 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This balance represents an amount related to the ongoing lawsuit with FFC. As of December 31,2024, the loan is not considered in default.

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Reserve for Chargeback Losses

Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result of, among other things, cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services. Such disputes may not be resolved in the merchant’s favor. In these cases, the transaction is “charged back” to the merchant, which means the purchase price is refunded to the customer through the merchant’s bank and charged to the merchant. If the merchant has inadequate funds, the Company must bear the credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates the risk for such transactions and estimates the potential loss for chargebacks based primarily on historical experience and records a loss reserve accordingly. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 chargebacks have reduced recorded revenue amounts and no reserve for loss has been recorded as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Transaction and processing fees from wholesale contracts	$	8,279,042	$	26,073,349
Transaction and processing fees from retail contracts		1,405,110		1,022,896
Other transaction and processing fees, revenue from monthly recurring subscriptions, and merchant equipment rental and sales		596,843		402,097
Bitcoin mining revenue		413,332		538,718
Digital product revenue		2,144,661		2,534,577
Total revenue from contracts with customers	$	12,838,988	$	30,571,637

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

●

Identification of a contract with a customer;

	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

	●	Determination of the transaction price;

	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

	●	Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and recognized as revenue at the point in time at which control of the goods transfers to the customer. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

Transaction and processing fees

Fees for the Company’s transaction and processing arrangements are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis. The Company receives a percentage of recurring monthly transaction related fees comprised of credit and debit card fees charged to merchants, net of association fees, otherwise known as Interchange, as well as certain service charges and convenience fees, for payment processing services, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement and information reporting of electronic transactions. Fees are calculated on either a percentage of the dollar, volume of the transaction or a fixed fee or a hybrid of the two and are recognized at the time of the transaction. These merchant services represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time and that the same measure of progress should be used to measure the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company will recognize revenue on a monthly basis as the services are transferred to the customer in short daily increments that qualify for series guidance as the best measure of the transfer of control.

In wholesale contracts, the Company recognizes transaction and processing fees on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in the merchant services. The Company has concluded it is the principal because it has a direct contractual relationship with the merchant, is primarily responsible for the delivery of services to the merchants, including performing underwriting, has discretion in setting prices, and bears risk of chargebacks and other merchant losses. The Company also has the unilateral ability to accept or reject a transaction based on criteria established by the Company. As the principal, the Company records the full discount charged to the merchant as revenue and the related interchange and other processing fees within cost of revenues.

In retail contracts, the Company is not responsible for merchant underwriting, has no chargeback liability and has no or limited contractual relationship with the merchant. As such, the Company records the net amount it receives from the processor, after interchange and other interchange and other processing fees, as revenue.

Merchant equipment rental and sales

The Company generates revenue through the sale and rental of merchant equipment. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon delivery of equipment to merchants and recognizes revenue at a point in time. The Company allows for customer returns which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on historical experience and reduces revenue recognized. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the equipment to merchants, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. The Company offers hardware installment sales to customers with terms ranging from three to forty-eight months. The Company allocates a portion of the consideration received from these arrangements to a financing component when it determines that a significant financing component exists. The financing component is subsequently recognized as financing revenue separate from hardware revenue, within subscription and services-based revenue, over the terms of the arrangement with the customer. Pursuant to practical expedients afforded under ASC 606, the Company does not recognize a financing component for hardware installment sales that have a term of one year or less.

Monthly recurring subscriptions

The Company generates recurring revenue through monthly subscriptions for software services. This service is provided based on an agreement with the customer regarding software services. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to a customer. In the subscription model, each billing period represents a performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services. For recurring revenue, this is the subscription fee. The Company allocates to the performance obligated based on the selling price for the subscription. If the criteria for recognizing revenue over time are met, revenue is recognized over the period of performance. For subscription and recurring fee, this means recognizing revenue each billing period.

Cryptocurrency mining:

The Company entered into contracts with digital asset mining pool operators to provide the service of performing hash computations for the mining pool operator. The contracts are continuously renewable and are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of Bitcoin. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. Hashrate is the measure of the computational power per second used when mining.

Providing computing power in Bitcoin transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with third party pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the Company successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

The Company earns Bitcoin during the time period 00:00:00 UTC and 23:59:59 UTC (“24-hour Period”) unless terminated in accordance with the terms set forth by the terms of service. In exchange for performing hash computations for the mining pool. The Company performs hash computations for one mining pool operator, Foundry USA. Foundry USA operates its pool on the Full Pay Per Share (FPPS) payout method. FPPS is a variant of the Pay Per Share (PPS) method, where miners receive a fixed payout for each valid share submitted, regardless of whether the pool finds a block.

The fair value of the Bitcoin award received is determined using the intraday average quoted price of the Bitcoin over the 24-Hour Period. The Company’s Bitcoin earned are actively traded on the major trading platforms. The Company considers Coinbase to be its primary market. The consideration the Company will receive, comprised of block rewards, transaction fees less mining pool operator fees are aggregated, over the 24-Hour Period, in a sub-balance account held by the mining pool operator, which is finalized one hour later at 1AM UTC. The sub-balance account is then withdrawn to the Company’s whitelisted wallet address, once a day, between the hours of 9am to 5pm UTC time (the “Settlement”). The rate of payment occurs once per day, as long as the minimum payout threshold of 0.01 bitcoin has accumulated in the sub- account balance, in accordance with the mining pool operator’s terms of service. At the time of Settlement, the company values the amount of Bitcoin earned using the average price of Bitcoin, per Coinbase, over the 24-hour Period and records this amount as revenue. By utilizing the average daily price of bitcoin over the time earned, the Company eliminates any differences that may arise due to the volatility in trading price between bitcoin and fiat currency during the period where the Company establishes and completes the contract.

Pursuant to ASC 606-10-55-42, the Company assessed if the customer’s option to renew represented a material right that represents a separate performance obligation and noted the renewal is not a material right. The definition of a material right is a promise in a contract to provide goods or services to a customer at a price that is significantly lower than the stand-alone selling price of the good or service. The mining pool operator does not provide any discounts and as such there is no economic benefit to the customer and as such a separate performance obligation does not exist under 606-10-55-42. In addition, there are no options for renewal that are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract, such as an ability to extend the contract at a reduced price.

The performance obligation of the Bitcoin miner under the mining contracts with Foundry Pool USA involves the service of performing hash computations to facilitate the verification of digital asset transactions. The Company’s miners contribute computing power (i.e.. hashrate) that perform hash calculations to the mining pool operator, engaging in the process of validating and securing transactions through the generation of Bitcoin hashes. The mining pool then utilizes a specific mining algorithm (e.g. SHA-256) to submit shares (proof of work) to the mining pool’s server as they contribute to solving the Bitcoin puzzles required to mine a block. The Company reviews and analyzes its individual pool performance using a dashboard provided by Foundry Pool USA that includes real-time statistics on hashrate, shares submitted and earnings. The service of performing hash computations in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing these services is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The Company performs hash computations for one mining pool operator, Foundry USA. Foundry USA operates its pool on the Full Pay Per Share (FPPS) payout method. FPPS is a variant of the Pay Per Share (PPS) method, where miners receive a fixed payout for each valid share submitted, regardless of whether the pool finds a block.

Regardless of the pool’s success, the Company will receive consistent rewards based on the number of valid shares it contributes. The transaction consideration the Company receives is non-cash consideration, in the form of bitcoin. The Company measures the bitcoin at fair value on the date earned using the average price (calculated by averaging the daily open price and the daily close price) quoted by its Principal Market at the date the Company completed the service of performing hash computations for the mining pool operator. There are no deferred revenues or other liability obligations recorded by the Company since there are no payments in advance of performance. At the end of each 24 hour period (00:00:00 UTC and 23:59:59 UTC), there are no remaining performance obligations. By utilizing the average daily price of bitcoin on the date earned, the Company eliminates any differences that may arise due to the volatility in trading price between bitcoin and fiat currency during the period where the Company establishes and completes the contract. The consideration is all variable. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

If authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could affect the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

Digital product revenue

The Company generates revenue through electronic distribution and sale of digital products that range from prepaid wireless SIM activation, international mobile recharge services and international long distance phone service. The Company generally obtains payment upfront and its performance obligation is to provide products and/or calling services. When products are provided at the point of sale, revenue is recognized immediately and at the time of payment. When a customer purchases a prepaid telecom product, such as a prepaid mobile phone plan, the revenue is initially recorded as a customer deposit and revenue is recognized over the relevant performance period as customers utilize the prepaid telecom services. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, customer deposits were $0.

Leases

Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the term of such lease is assessed based on the date on which the underlying asset is made available for the Company’s use by the lessor. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancelable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain of not exercising, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain of exercising. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations over the lease term.

For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, an operating lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. For purposes of measuring the present value of its fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in its leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment of the associated lease.

For the Company’s operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lease payments are recognized as paid and are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an accounting policy election. Leases qualifying for the short-term lease exception were insignificant. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred and primarily consist of common area maintenance and utility charges not included in the measurement of right of use assets and operating lease liabilities.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-08 are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. ASU No. 2023-08 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity adopts the amendments. The Company has not yet adopted ASU No. 2023-08 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
