BPM Welcomes David Spencer, Expanding Its Digital Asset and Blockchain Tax Capabilities 

June 5, 2026

Industries: Blockchain & Digital Assets

---

BPM is pleased to announce the addition of David K. Spencer, CPA, to the firm’s growing team. A recognized authority in digital asset taxation and blockchain business advisory, David brings nearly a decade of focused experience in one of accounting’s most demanding and rapidly evolving specializations. 

Before joining BPM, David served on the Digital Innovation team at RSM, where he worked with digital asset clients at scale. He’s also held advisory roles in the healthcare sector and brings additional depth in international taxation and the payments industry. His credentials include certifications from Harvard, IBM, and the Global Blockchain Business Council, and he has been published and spoken before audiences ranging from the Florida Bankers Association to corporate boards. 

David first heard of crypto in college when a student he was tutoring offered him Bitcoin as payment. It sent him down a research rabbit hole he never fully climbed out of. By 2016, he was actively serving digital asset clients. By the early 2020s, as crypto participation surged, his practice grew to reflect that demand. He was serving clients across the spectrum from retail investors navigating basis calculations to high-growth companies preparing for institutional financing. 

What draws David to this work is partly the complexity — and partly the gap he sees between what crypto clients need and what most practitioners can deliver. Cost basis tracking, exchange-issued 1099 accuracy, and the nuances of moving assets across wallets and platforms all demand technical fluency that’s still relatively rare in the profession. David also has helps non-crypto businesses identify blockchain use cases; not as an advocate for the technology, but as a translator who can help leadership teams ask the right questions. 

“I’ve been in the crypto space for close to a decade, and I’ve worked with clients all over the world – from Hong Kong to California,” said Spencer. “The industry has come a long way, and that historical perspective matters. Now, with BPM behind me, I have the team and the infrastructure to take what I know and make it accessible at a much larger scale.” 

David’s arrival extends BPM’s ability to support clients with digital asset portfolios, blockchain-native businesses, and organizations exploring how distributed ledger technology may fit within their operations.
