Deloitte: 99% of CFOs Eye Crypto for Treasury Use Long-Term

* 99% of large-firm CFOs see crypto as part of a long-term business strategy. * Treasury departments plan near-term adoption for payments and investments. According to a Deloitte Insights survey published on July 31, 2025, nearly all chief financial officers (CFOs) at large North American companies foresee cryptocurrency playing a long-term role in their business operations. The study, which captured responses from 200 CFOs at firms generating at least $1 billion in annual revenue, provides key insights into corporate adoption trends and the hurdles for implementing digital assets. The survey found that 99% of respondents are confident in cryptocurrency's potential for business applications. For organizations with over $10 billion in annual revenue, 40% of CFOs stated their treasury departments plan to use digital assets for investments or payments within two years, a figure that stands at 23% across all surveyed companies. Meanwhile, more than half of the CFOs are optimistic about using non-stable cryptocurrencies for long-term supply chain management. Respondents identified stablecoins as a practical entry point for adoption, citing benefits such as enhanced customer privacy (45%) and more efficient cross-border transactions (39%). However, significant challenges remain, with price volatility being the most pressing concern (43%). Other critical barriers noted include accounting complexities (42%) and a lack of regulatory clarity (40%). Corporate enthusiasm is also fueled by growing institutional interest in the broader cryptocurrency sector. For instance, a separate survey from March 2025 showed that 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their crypto exposure, signaling growing confidence in digital assets across the financial ecosystem.
