Note 6 - Digital Assets

Digital Assets held by the Company consist of Ether and Bitcoin and are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to the lack of authoritative GAAP guidance, the Company has determined its Digital Assets to be akin to intangible assets and are accounted in such manner. As intangible assets, Digital Assets are initially measured at cost. Since there is no limit on the useful life of the Company’s Ether and Bitcoin, they are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Instead they are tested for impairment on an annual basis and more frequently if events or circumstances change that indicate that it’s more likely than not that the asset is impaired. As a result of the aforementioned, the Company will only recognize decreases in the value of its Ether and Bitcoin, and any increase in value will be recognized upon disposition. Ether and Bitcoin are traded on exchanges in which there are observable prices in an active market, the Company views a decline in the quoted price below the cost to be an impairment indicator. The quoted price and observable prices, for Ether and Bitcoin, are determined by the Company using a principal market analysis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

When the Company evaluates its Ether and Bitcoin for impairment under ASC 350, Intangible – Goodwill and Other, each acquisition of Ether and Bitcoin is considered a separate unit of account. The Company tracks the cost of each unit of Ether and Bitcoin when received or purchased, when performing impairment testing and upon disposition either through sale or exchanged for goods or services. Realized gain (loss) on sale of Digital Assets is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations, while impairment of Digital Assets is included in operating expenses because of the nature of the assets.
