| Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Indemnifications | Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with major financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. |
| Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized over the life of the related debt instrument. Debt issuance costs are presented on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the debt liability. In circumstances in which there is not an associated debt liability amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements when the debt issuance costs are incurred, such debt issuance costs will be reported on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as an asset until the debt liability is recorded. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of debt issuance costs was $(1.0) million, representing deferred financing costs of $6.7 million less accrued interest of $7.7 million, included in BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility and CLO Transaction (each as defined below), and is presented on a net basis of $472.3 million for the BoA and WF Credit Facilities and $302.1 million for the CLO Transaction on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of debt issuance costs was $(1.1) million, representing deferred financing costs of $7.1 million less accrued interest of $8.2 million, included in BoA Credit Facility, WF Credit Facility, and CLO Transaction (each as defined below), and is presented on a net basis of $501.7 million for the BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility and $302.5 million for the CLO Transaction on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one year period ending October 31 in such calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the Company paid no federal income tax. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income. The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. |
| Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation As provided under ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly owned investment company subsidiaries (PS BDC Funding, PS BDC Funding II and Palmer Square BDC CLO I, Ltd.) in its consolidated financial statements. |
| Interest and Dividend Income Recognition | Interest and Dividend Income Recognition Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, paydown gains/losses and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities and money market funds is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. |
| Non-Accrual Status | Non-Accrual Status Management reviews all loans that have principal or interest that is 90 days past due, or when there is reasonable doubt as to the collection of principal or interest to determine if a loan will be placed on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued interest and unpaid interest is generally reversed, and any discount (market or original) is no longer accreted to interest income. Interest payments received while a loan is on non-accrual status may be applied to principal or recognized as income, as determined by management’s judgment regarding collectability. A loan may be taken off non-accrual status if past due payments are made, and if management determines the issuer is likely to remain current on future payments. Management may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value or is in the process of collection. Management may also leave a loan on accrual status while actively seeking recovery of past due payment. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had three loans on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2025, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.24% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.72% at amortized cost). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had two loans on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2024, loans on non-accrual status represented 0.08% of the total investments at fair value (or 0.46% at amortized cost). |
| Other Income | Other Income From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of closing investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Investment Advisor provides vary by investment, but can include closing, work, diligence or other similar fees and fees for providing managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies. In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees and possibly consulting and performance-based fees. |
| Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation | Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. |
