When I use some business money to invest in cryptocurrencies, how should these be tracked in Reckon Hosted? I'm assuming a bank account in the name of the crypto-currency purchased. Would there then need to be an adjustment account of some kind (liability maybe?) where once a month (or at whatever interval) you could do an adjustment? What would the process be to track this?

    Hi Jay - depending on if you keep the crypto in a hot wallet or a cold one - I would maybe suggest using an Other Current Asset account for the cold wallet/investment funds but a Bank account for the hot wallet?  Then depending on your business structure (eg company, sole trader or partnership) I would suggest an Equity Account called Crypto/Market Revaluation account?
