A Deloitte study reveals that CFOs are embracing digital assets as part of their long-term corporate strategies.
According to a new study by Deloitte Insights, chief financial officers of major North American companies are showing growing interest in integrating digital assets into their operational strategies.
The research, published on July 31, found that nearly all financial executives surveyed—specifically 99%—expect to use cryptocurrencies for business functions over the long term. The survey included 200 CFOs from North American companies with revenues exceeding $1 billion.
Deloitte’s analysis revealed faster-than-expected adoption timelines. 23% of CFOs said their financial divisions will implement digital asset solutions for investment or payments within the next 24 months. Among larger organizations, with revenues over $10 billion, that figure rises to 40%.
Another key insight from the study highlights a growing intent to include digital assets in corporate investment portfolios. 15% of financial executives surveyed believe their departments are likely to purchase cryptocurrencies as part of their investment strategies within the next two years. Larger companies again show greater inclination: nearly 1 in 4 CFOs (24%) at organizations with over $10 billion in revenue anticipate crypto investments.
Despite overall optimism, some concerns remain. Volatility is still the leading deterrent, cited by 43% of CFOs as the biggest concern related to investing in cryptocurrencies.
