  As per the FASB requirements, digital currencies are considered intangible assets and should be accounted for using the fair value model. This means that they should be initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. The impact of these requirements is that the valuation of digital currencies can be volatile and may result in significant fluctuations in reported earnings.
