OTHER INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS OTHER INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS
Other Investments:
Equity Investments—The Company owns convertible preferred and common stock in four and two unrelated entities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The value of the combined investment in these four and two entities was $9,850,000 and $1,850,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company acquired $3,000,000 convertible preferred stock and $5,000,000 common stock in two separate unrelated entities, respectively. The investment of $5,000,000 in common stock was purchased by issuing series A convertible preferred stock. Refer to Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards and Note 15 Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for further information.
The Company applies the measurement alternative for its investments in the common stock and preferred stock because these investments are of an equity nature, and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of entities even in the event of conversion of the Seed Units or Preferred Stock. Under the measurement alternative, the Company records the investment based on original cost, less impairments, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the investee. The Company’s share of income or loss of such companies is not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company tests its investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. No impairment of investments occurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
