The newest corporation to add Bitcoins to its financial statements is a New York digital entertainment firm

While the acquisition will have no impact on other companies billions of dollars in Bitcoins, the corporation claims it might have profited $1.2 million if it had liquidated its shares at the end of the first period.

Only with the acquisition of $5 million in Bitcoins (BTC) to its income statement, Townsquare Entertainment, a web marketing and radio show firm headquartered in New York City, has become the newest enterprise to endorse the revolutionary virtual currency.

Around May 10, Macroscope, a Twitter profile that specializes in corporate investing, discovered a statement with the Securities & Exchange Board (SEC) revealing Townsquare’s Bitcoins acquisition.

The corporation “spent an average of $5 billion dollars into Bitcoins” in the first half of 2021, according to the report, and offered an example as to why it picked a cryptocurrency transaction, claiming:

“The Organization believes that virtual currencies have lengthy potential value. Depending on our assessment of market dynamics, the Corporation may raise or reduce its ownership of digital products anywhere at a time moment.”

Whereas the value of Bitcoins at the point of the transaction was not revealed, Townsquare reported a $400,000 impairment loss due to “proceeds from the sale” of its virtual equity securities throughout the period.

The alleged deficit comes as a result of the peculiar reporting requirements for cryptocurrency ownership. Townsquare further alleged that this could have traded its Bitcoins for a maximum of $6.2 million on 31st March when the value of Bitcoin was about $45,500. Because it is so able to adapt Bitcoin to money to use a cryptocurrency exchange, the corporation considers its Bitcoins transaction to be accessible.

While the acquisition pales in contrast to MicroStrategy’s almost $3 billion Bitcoins stockpile, Townsquare Entertainment is in the middle of the scale when it comes to the idea of Bitcoins owned by listed firms.

As per Bitcoins Gems, a website that tracks Bitcoins holdings by firms, Townsquare would be midway between Cryptocurrency mining firms Cleanspark Inc. ($4.3 million) and Cathedra Bitcoins Inc. ($5.5 million).

Other corporations with large investments in the globe’s first bitcoin have acknowledged losses due to keeping the commodity on their income statement as the value of Bitcoin has fallen, and this year recently reached 10-month dips.

Galaxy Digital Investments, a crypto asset manager, revealed a $111.7 million deficit during the first half of 2022 owing to capital losses on its bitcoin assets previously in May. Michael Saylor, Founder of MicroStrategy and a proponent of Bitcoins, had to reassure creditors that the business could repay the loans if necessary.
