On December 16th, according to The Bitcoin Historian, an editor at Bitcoin Magazine, the fair value accounting standards for Bitcoin by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially took effect. Previously, companies could only measure their held Bitcoin assets by historical cost and could not reflect their market value growth. The new standard allows companies to use fair value measurement methods to more accurately reflect the actual value of their Bitcoin assets, which will reduce accounting barriers for companies to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor previously stated that FASB has officially passed fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin, which will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This improvement will encourage companies to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

SEC commissioners have issued a final ultimatum to Musk to accept a settlement within 48 hours, or face multiple charges, claiming that this action was taken based on instructions from superiors. At the same time, the letter mentioned that the SEC has reopened its investigation into Neuralink, a company owned by Musk, indicating that the SEC's actions have gone beyond seeking the truth and instead are targeted behavior based on improper motives.
