Note 3. Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-08, which changes the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain cryptocurrency assets that meet specific criteria (e.g., fungible intangible assets secured with cryptography that do not provide the holder with rights to underlying goods or services). This ASU mandates that in-scope crypto assets be measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in net income. It also requires additional disclosures regarding significant holdings, activity rollforward, and any sale restrictions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods. The Company implemented ASU 2023-08 effective with the implementation of its ETH treasury operations in 2025.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the annual period ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not impact amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements but, instead, required more detailed disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of ASU 2024-03 can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. While early adoption is permitted, the Company does not plan to adopt ASU 2024-03 early. ASU 2024-03 will likely result in additional disclosures being included in the Company’s financial statements once adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2024-03.

About New Standards Disclosures

New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.

Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
