AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between policy uncertainty and cryptocurrencies with the financial accounting approach of cryptocurrency assets. The political uncertainty index was calculated based on the approach of Becker et al. (2016) in terms of monetary, financial and exchange rate policy dimensions for the countries of Iran, China, the United States and the United Kingdom, and its relationship with the cryptocurrencies market ,Bitcoin, was evaluated. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate this relationship using the financial accounting approach of cryptocurrencies assets, the most important of which is Bitcoin. The time period of this study was 2012-2021 based on the frequency of monthly data. The results obtained from this estimation of the general method of movement model indicated that the index of political uncertainty in China, America, England and Iran had a positive relationship with the monthly yield of cryptocurrencies and only the number of interruptions of the variable's influence was different. . Therefore, investors in the cryptocurrencies market can have a higher expected return by accepting the risk caused by political uncertainty and predicting the state of macroeconomic variables.
