Treating BTC as cash is fine but I would consider creating an account for BTC in your accounting software since it could become a problem when you reconcile.
It’s a solvable problem for sure, just no one is discussing best practices yet.
Crazy to think this is a 15-year old asset and it still seems early in this aspect.
You do BTCpayserver POS or online?

POS. I actually do capture the BTC payments at the register as Bitcoin but when that data gets pushed to the bookkeeping backend I deposit it to “Cash on Hand”. I’m using Lightspeed POS and I need to build a middleware to automate the payment workflow between Lightspeed and BTCpay. But I’m not really a developer so I’ve been avoiding that and just added a payment method called bitcoin in the POS, create the sale, and then jump to a browser where the BTCpay server page is and enter the amount. Once it goes through I jump back to Lightspeed and hit bitcoin as the payment method and it prints the receipt. It’s more or less the same as accepting a check, which I also have as a payment method in Lightspeed.
