Hello there, @cryptobeam.

 

I'll make sure you can set up cryptocurrency in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to track your holdings and cash flow accordingly.

 

First, set up the multicurrency feature in QBO so you can do business in foreign currencies. Please note that you can no longer turn it off once on. Whenever you're ready, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Account and settings.
  2. Select Advanced.
  3. In the Currency section, select Edit ✎.
  4. From the Home Currency ▼ dropdown, select your currency.
  5. Select the Multicurrency checkbox and confirm that you understand that you can't undo this option.
  6. Select Save.

 

You can learn more about multicurrency by checking out this article: Set up and use multicurrency in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you're done, you can sign up for QuickBooks Checking. This way, you can buy or sell cryptocurrency (for example, bitcoin) with funds from your QuickBooks Checking account once you're approved.

 

For the complete guide in setting up to buy and sell cryptocurrency in QBO, please see this article: Buy and Sell Bitcoin in QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, you can set up to buy, sell, or hold bitcoin in QBO. You may check out this article if you want to learn more about this process in QuickBooks: Set up to buy, sell, or hold bitcoin in QuickBooks Online.
