CFOs Increasingly Prioritize Crypto in Financial Planning

Deloitte’s Q2 2025 survey reveals a surge in chief financial officers’ adoption of cryptocurrency for business purposes. Among 200 CFOs at $1 billion-plus revenue firms, 99% anticipate long-term business use.

Short-term plans are more modest: 23% expect treasury departments to use crypto for investments or payments within two years, rising to nearly 40% for firms exceeding $10 billion in revenue.

Price volatility remains the primary concern, cited by 43% of respondents regarding non-stablecoins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). Accounting complexity (42%) and regulatory uncertainty (40%), exacerbated by shifting US policy, also rank highly.

CFOs Plan Crypto Investments, Payments

Despite caution, investment plans are growing. Fifteen percent of CFOs expect direct exposure to non-stable cryptos within 24 months (up to 24% among large-cap firms). Stablecoin payments are also emerging: 15% of firms plan acceptance over two years, more common at larger companies.

Key drivers for stablecoin use include privacy and lower-cost cross-border transactions. Furthermore, over half of surveyed CFOs see blockchain applications in supply chain management and tracking for operational improvements.

Widespread Board and Inter-departmental Discussions

Institutional adoption indicators include 37% of CFOs reporting board discussions about digital assets, while 41% have consulted chief investment officers on the matter.
