Correct me if I'm wrong but I would think this to be the case already.

Company has an asset whose value increases, that needs to be booked and eventually declared as income AFAIK. I'm really not a good accountant when it comes to IP but I think that's the general idea.

It only needs to be declared as income (or capital gains, depending) when you sell it, not by virtue of mere possession.
