The letter also has some documents attached. According to official notes, the documents are being provided to serve as a resource to help as you navigate a corporate bitcoin strategy.
The letter includes extremely important info about Bitcoin. At one point, it notes that “While bitcoin does not constitute a security under federal securities laws, we believe the treatment of investments in equity securities under ASC321, Investments – Equity Securities, is informative of these principles. In particular, we believe one of the existing definitions of “readily determinable fair value” in the FASB Master Glossary is instructive.”
The letter continues: “The fair value of an equity security is readily determinable if sales prices or bid-and-asked quotations are currently available on a securities exchange registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in the over-the-counter market, provided that those prices or quotations for the over-the-counter market are publicly reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations systems or by OTC Markets Group Inc.”
