  1. This table shows the p-values of each hypothesis test—t-test, Crude Dependence Adjustment test (CDA), Patell test, Adjusted Pattel test, Corrado rank test, Generalized Sign test, and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test for different groups of cryptocurrency exposure—subsample of thirteen Balance Sheet events (i.e., only direct acquisition of BTC or ETH). The top, medium and bottom tercile of the variable USD Crypto Acquisition / USD Total Assets of the firm define High, Medium and Low exposure, respective. We highlight in bold the p-values lower or equal to 0.10
