How would you recognize the purchase of a GIC as an Asset? What Equity Account would you credit?

I've purchased a GIC as a asset to secure a letter of credit for a series of projects. I could record it as a new asset, but I see no place to reflect cash equivalents and since it is liquid but not as liquid as cash. How should it appear in my chart of accounts?
