Grant Stellmacher
CPA and Finance Architect building institutional-grade financial infrastructure for digital asset businesses. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Current Role
Finance Architect — Anchorage Digital
Anchorage Digital is the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, holding an OCC trust charter. As Finance Architect, Grant designs the financial infrastructure layer for institutional-grade digital asset operations — from staking revenue recognition frameworks to custody accounting under SAB 121, from ASC 606 policy design to SOX-ready internal control environments.
His work sits at the intersection of financial accounting standards, digital asset protocols, and production engineering — designing systems that are both GAAP-compliant and operationally scalable at the transaction volumes institutional crypto generates.
