Accounting for Cryptographic Assets in UAE

Introduction

People in the UAE show interest in cryptographic assets. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin grow in popularity every year. Many businesses now accept digital currencies. UAE opens new exchange platforms for trading. Mubarak Al Ketbi (MAK) Auditing helps companies handle cryptographic asset accounting.

What Are Cryptographic Assets?

Cryptographic assets are digital tokens. These assets work on blockchain technology. Blockchain prevents copying or tampering. People use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. Businesses now use cryptographic assets as payment. Some UAE authorities accept them as securities.

How to Do Accounting for Cryptographic Assets

You must use special rules for cryptographic assets. There is no fixed law for them yet. Each company needs to check their own situation. Here’s what to look at:

  • Purpose of Holding:
    Ask yourself, “Why does my company have this asset?” If you keep it for selling, call it inventory. If you keep it for long-term value, call it an intangible asset.
  • How to Value It:
    The value depends on the type. Bitcoin and Ether get value from supply and demand. Tokens backed by real-world things get value from those things.
  • Ownership Rights:
    Check if your company owns the asset. Sometimes you just hold it for a customer. Read agreements to decide how to record it.

You must check each factor before making your final accounting choice. Cryptographic assets can’t be counted as property, plant, or equipment. They are digital and have no physical form.

  • Cryptographic assets change fast.
  • They come in different types with mixed features.
