Disclosure of detailed information about financial instruments [abstract] |
Financial Instruments and Risk Management [Text Block] | 23. Financial Instruments and Risk Management The investments measured at fair value are classified into one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values, with the designation based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Unobservable inputs reflect management's assumptions on how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the information available). Valuation of Assets that use Level 2 Inputs ("Level 2 Assets"). The fair value of Level 2 assets would use the quoted price from the exchanges which the Company most frequently uses, with no adjustment. The Company is exposed, in varying degrees, to a variety of financial related risks. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows: Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts as at March 31, 2021. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held primarily with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. For the custody of its digital currencies, the Company uses the services of two financial institutions through custodial agreements, one financial institution located in Liechtenstein and another in the United States. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due. The Company manages company-wide cash projections centrally and regularly updates projections for changes in business and fluctuations cause in digital currency prices and exchange rates. Foreign currency risk Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations as well as the currency in which the Company has historically raised capital. The Company's presentation currency is the US dollar and major purchases are transacted in US dollars, while all financing equity to date has been completed in Canadian dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company's financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than an entity's functional currency. A portion of the Company's general and administrative costs are incurred mainly in currencies separate from each entity's functional currency, such as Swiss Francs, the Euro, the Swedish Krona, the Norwegian Krone, and Icelandic Krona. The fluctuation of these currencies in relation to the US dollar will consequently impact the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company's assets and liabilities and the amount of shareholders' equity. The Company's net monetary position in the significant foreign currencies as of March 31, 2021 is summarized below with the effect on comprehensive income of a 10% fluctuation of each currency relative to the functional currency of the entity holding it to the USD dollar:
|  | Net Monetary Position March 31, 2021 (USD$ equivalent) |  |  | Impact of 10% variance in foreign exchange rate (in foreign currency) |
US Dollars |  | 38,849,027 |  |  | 3,531,730 |
Canadian Dollars |  | 321,373 |  |  | 23,204 |
Euros |  | 2,433 |  |  | 259 |
Swiss Francs |  | (69,278 | ) |  | 6,677 |
Swedish Krona |  | 2,443,606 |  |  | 25,456 |
Norwegian Krone |  | (2,800,814 | ) |  | 29,819 |
Icelandic Krona |  | 684,920 |  |  | 493 |
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is limited and only relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Company's cash account. Price Risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to any significant price risks with respect to its financial instruments.
