Abstract

Living conditions, change of needs, technological developments and financial crises have been important in the development of money. It is stated in the literature that Bitcoin crypto money was born especially after the financial crisis in 2008. The peer-to-peer cash system, developed by Satoshi Nakamoto, led to the notion of cryptoasset, blockchain and distributed ledger technology along with Bitcoin. Nowadays, it is observed that there are many cryptoassets and there is an increase in the number, type and transaction volumes of cryptoassets. This expansion has brought up the issue of accounting for Bitcoin and other cryptoassets. In this study, it was aimed to give information about cryptoassets, types of cryptoassets, supply and current situation, was been tried to examine the temporary agenda decision regarding the accounting of the cryptocurrencies presented to the public opinion by IASB, was to investigate the accounting of cryptoassets other than cryptocurrencies. IASB has states that the cryptocurrencies should be accounted for under IAS 2 Inventories Standard if they are held for sale, in other case they will be evaluated within the scope of IAS 38 Intangible Assets Standard. On the other hand, it may be advisable to make necessary arrangements for the accounting of cryptoassets other than cryptocurrencies.

Abstract

Yaşam koşulları, ihtiyaçların değişimi, teknolojik gelişmeler ve finansal krizler paranın gelişiminde önemli rol oynamıştır. Literatürde, özellikle 2008 yılında yaşanan finansal kriz sonrasında Bitcoin kripto parasının doğduğu ifade edilmektedir. Satoshi Nakamoto tarafından geliştirilen eşler arası nakit sistemi, Bitcoin ile birlikte, kripto varlık, blokzincir ve dağıtılmış defter teknolojisi kavramlarının da gündeme gelmesine neden olmuştur. Günümüzde çok sayıda kripto varlığın mevcut olduğu, kripto varlıkların sayısında, türünde ve işlem hacimlerinde artış olduğu gözlenmektedir. Bu genişleme beraberinde Bitcoin ve diğer kripto varlıkların muhasebeleştirilmesi konusunu da gündeme getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada kripto varlıklar, kripto varlıkların çeşitleri, temini ve mevcut durumu hakkında bilgi verilmeye, IASB tarafından kamuoyunun görüşüne sunulan kripto paraların muhasebeleştirilmesine ilişkin geçici gündem kararı incelenmeye, kripto para dışındaki diğer kripto varlıkların muhasebeleştirilmesi incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. IASB kripto paraların satılmak için elde tutulması durumunda IAS 2 Stoklar Standardı kapsamında, diğer hallerde IAS 38 Maddi Olmayan Duran Varlık Standardı kapsamında değerlendireceğine dair geçici karar bildirmiştir. Diğer taraftan, kripto para dışındaki kripto varlıkların muhasebeleştirilmesi için gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılması da önerilebilir.
