Most executives exploring a digital asset treasury strategy get stuck on the same question: “What actually happens to my taxes and finances if we put Bitcoin on the balance sheet?”
In our newest BitcoinTreasuries.net webinar, O21 Solutions founder Matt Agee and Bitment co‑founder Jordan Guess answer exactly that –– across 40 densely packed minutes, Matt and Jordan walk through the top 10 accounting and tax questions businesses face when they start holding, accepting, or mining Bitcoin.
You’ll hear how the IRS currently treats Bitcoin as property, what that means for balance‑sheet presentation and cost basis, and why the burden of accurate reporting sits squarely on the business, not an exchange or broker.
If you are a CFO, controller, or founder who wants to start a Bitcoin treasury without creating a compliance headache, this webinar shows how to design a program that is technically sound, audit‑ready, and built for growth.
What you’ll learn
● How U.S. rules currently treat Bitcoin for businesses, and how to present BTC holdings on financial statements and tax returns.
● How to handle Bitcoin received as payment, including revenue recognition, cost‑basis tracking, and auto‑convert vs. “keep the coins” approaches.
● When capital gains or losses apply to a business Bitcoin position, and how to use methods like FIFO or specific identification without losing the paper trail.
● The tax reality of paying employees and contractors in BTC, including payroll, income, and self‑employment tax implications.
● How to treat mining as an operating business—ordinary income, deductible expenses, bonus depreciation, and multi‑year planning.
● Which new forms (like 1099‑DA) and disclosures matter, and why you cannot rely on exchange reporting alone.
