Cryptocurrency is emerging as a priority in corporate financial strategies. According to a survey of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) compiled by global consulting firm Deloitte in the second quarter of 2025, 99% of CFOs from companies with annual revenues over $1 billion said they plan to utilize cryptocurrency in their business long-term. This is interpreted as a signal that cryptocurrency is no longer a peripheral asset but is becoming mainstream from a corporate financial perspective.
This survey was conducted among CFOs of 200 companies in North America with revenues over $1 billion. 23% of respondents indicated plans to use cryptocurrency as an investment or payment method in their finance departments within the next two years. Particularly among CFOs of large companies with revenues exceeding $10 billion, this percentage approached 40%. This suggests that the atmosphere of actively considering cryptocurrency as a corporate fund management strategy is spreading, centered on large corporations.
However, despite this trend, caution remains. The biggest obstacle cited by CFOs is the price volatility of major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. 43% of total respondents answered that they are hesitant to adopt due to high volatility. Additionally, the complexity of accounting standards and regulatory uncertainty were also cited as major barriers. 42% and 40% of CFOs respectively pointed to these issues as adoption limitation factors.
Particularly in terms of regulation, recent changes in US government policy are adding to the uncertainty. While expectations in the industry have grown with Trump emphasizing cryptocurrency regulation relaxation, assessments suggest more time is needed for actual corporate adoption as related legislation and supervisory agencies are slow to establish their positions.
Deloitte noted in its report that "while the commercial utilization potential of cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly clear, risk management remains a key challenge from a financial officer's perspective" and "full adoption at the enterprise level will only occur when technology, accounting, regulatory, and security environments are stably organized".
