Digital Assets & Cryptocurrency for Business
Digital assets are now a genuine business category, not just a trading topic. This course explains coins versus tokens, custody and wallet choices, what holding assets on an exchange really means using the well documented November 2022 FTX collapse, and the accounting and tax questions to raise with your advisers. It never advises acquiring or holding any digital asset.

Who it is for
Written for finance. No technical background is needed, and nothing in it assumes a previous course.
This course from Blocknorth gives business professionals a clear, practical understanding of digital assets, what they are, how they are held, and what holding one actually involves. No technical background needed and no investment advice offered: you will learn the difference between coins and tokens, how custody and wallets work, what really happens when a business holds assets on an exchange, and the treasury, accounting and tax questions to put to your own advisers.
Course contents
4 units. Each ends with a 10-question quiz; 8 correct unlocks the next unit.

- Hot wallets versus cold storage, and building a considered policy
- Key management, backup and succession planning, and basic security hygiene
