Should a company include crypto assets in its carbon footprint?

421 questions from 58 articles available in English.

Yes, if your company holds crypto assets as part of its treasury or as an investment (as Tesla and MicroStrategy do) and is subject to the CSRD or prepares a regulatory emissions report. These assets fall under Scope 3 Category 15 (in French) (investments). The method still needs to be clearly documented (energy-based approach, Cambridge sources), since PCAF (in French) has not yet published a dedicated standard. For an SME that is not in scope, the topic becomes a priority only if crypto assets account for more than a few per cent of the footprint.
