Own funds

The capital a regulated crypto-asset firm must hold against its fixed overheads. A bonus issue does not help, because it only moves a sum between two lines of the balance sheet. Chapter 15

The main page for this term is Own funds, in Crypto-Asset Regulation.

How it comes up, in Chapter 15
A bonus issue creates no money. Share premium fell, and share capital rose by the same amount, so shareholders' funds did not change. Nor did it help the regulator's own funds test, the capital a crypto-asset firm must hold against its fixed overheads. Moving a sum between two lines of one balance sheet changes nothing.
