Stablecoins and Strategy: How CFOs are planning for digital currency
A new Deloitte report reveals that corporate finance leaders are increasingly considering cryptocurrency, especially stablecoins and Bitcoin, as part of their future operations. The Q2 2025 CFO Signals Spotlight, based on a survey of 200 North American CFOs at companies with at least $1 billion in revenue, shows that only 1% of respondents expect not to use cryptocurrency in the long term.
Currently, 23% of CFOs foresee their treasury departments utilizing crypto for investments or payments within the next two years. That number jumps to nearly 40% among finance leaders at companies with over $10 billion in annual revenue. However, adoption is not without concerns.
The top challenges CFOs face regarding crypto use include:
- Price volatility (43%)
- Accounting and control complexities (42%)
- Lack of regulation (40%)
“Crypto is a unique asset, and the accounting treatment for digital assets seems to be a work in progress.”
Steve Gallucci (global and U.S. leader of Deloitte’s CFO Program)
When it comes to stablecoins, which are typically pegged to fiat currencies and backed by reserve assets.
- 45% of CFOs cited enhanced customer privacy as the leading benefit, followed by improved cross-border transaction capabilities
- 15% of companies expect to accept stablecoin payments within two years—a number that rises to 24% for larger organizations.
The regulatory environment is also evolving. President Trump recently signed an executive order creating a national Bitcoin reserve, and the U.S. Senate passed stablecoin legislation in June.
More than 160 companies worldwide currently hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, including U.S. firms like GameStop, Block, Tesla, and Trump Media & Technology Group. While experts remain divided on the risks, over half of the surveyed CFOs see potential for using non-stable crypto in areas like supply chain tracking.
With more than a third of CFOs already in active conversations with their boards about digital currency strategies, it’s clear that crypto’s role in corporate finance is gaining serious momentum.
