Good morning. Many companies are working to tie token usage to actual business value rather than raw consumption—a challenge CFOs are already grappling with. A new group of experts plans to offer solutions.
The Linux Foundation’s Tokenomics Foundation—focused on standardizing how companies measure and manage AI token costs and connect it to business value—officially launches today, backed by 29 initial members. Founding supporters at the time of launch include companies such as Accenture, Booking.com, BNY, Flexera, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, Oracle, SAP, and ServiceNow.
That roster reflects the foundation’s goal of uniting “token users and suppliers”—companies burning through tokens and the model providers and cloud platforms selling access to them—under one vendor-neutral roof.
To learn more, I asked J.R. Storment, executive director of the Tokenomics Foundation, a few questions:
CFO Daily: How should a CFO who has never budgeted for token consumption before start building that competency?
