Interesting -- this is probably one of those things that's way more important than it seems. Public companies have so much pressure not to show things that look like losses, and do an ungodly amount of bullshit behind-the-scenes (and yet legal) gymnastics to give the appearance that things are great, even when they're not.
This could really matter.

I heard talks of FASB looking into approving fair accounting practices quite awhile ago, long before the current wave of BTC ETF applications. https://www.fasb.org/Page/ProjectPage?metadata=fasb-Accounting-for-and-Disclosure-of-Crypto-Assets
