SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2026.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (as amended the “Annual Report”).
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, the assessment of recoverability of our goodwill and long-lived assets, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities, and equity that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates and assumptions reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, fair value of intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, fair value of short-term investments and equity securities, digital assets, digital assets pledged, the fair value of our option liabilities, useful lives of intangibles and depreciable assets, and stock-based compensation.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a VIE in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Unearned revenue
Unearned revenue
Unearned revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers, or services provided in a barter transaction, in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and is recognized as services are performed or ratably over the life of the license. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Unearned revenue of $30.4 was recognized as revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, unearned revenue is expected to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period and is therefore presented as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Options
Options
We manage our exposure to bitcoin price fluctuation through derivative instruments on bitcoin and bitcoin related securities, as part of our digital asset treasury strategy. In order to manage this risk, we sell covered put and covered call options, purchase call and put options, use a synthetic long strategy that uses a combination of a purchased call option and a sold put option which provides us exposure to increases in bitcoin prices while limiting downside risk should the price decrease, or use a collar strategy that uses a combination of a purchased put option and a sold call option which provides us protection from downside risk.
Written covered put and call options on bitcoin related securities generate premium income and allow us to purchase bitcoin related securities at lower effective prices. The put options are covered by cash collateral to cover potential purchases and the call options are covered by our ownership in the underlying security. In exchange for this commitment, we receive premiums immediately paid in cash. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid while affecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized investment gain or loss.  This premium acts as income, increasing our investment yield.  If the written option expires worthless, we keep the full premium as profit with no obligation to purchase. If a put option is exercised, we buy the security at the strike price using the cash collateral, and the premium received reduces the effective cost basis, allowing us to acquire the securities at a discount compared to direct market purchases.  If a written call option is exercised, we sell the security at the strike price using our existing holdings of the security, and the premium received reduces any loss or increases any gain we may incur.
The writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security. The aggregate fair value of unexpired options written are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash held as collateral for written options is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. Securities held as collateral for outstanding call options are presented within equity securities on the consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $0.0 and $951.6 of restricted cash covering our unexpired put options, respectively.  We had $438,522.0 and $566,700.1 of equity securities, and $271,268.6 and $350,600.8 of digital assets restricted to cover unexpired call options as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Concentrations of risks
Concentrations of risks
Our financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Although we deposit cash and cash equivalents with multiple banks, these deposits may exceed the amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits provided on such deposits.
Digital assets, digital assets pledged, and equity securities represent a significant holding, constituting approximately 62.1% and 68.5% of our total assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
One advertising platform accounted for 66.5% and 93.0% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
In order to reduce the risk of downtime of the products we provide, we have established data centers in various geographic regions. We have internal procedures to restore products in the event of a service disruption or disaster at any of our data center facilities. We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated either by us or third parties. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, the availability of our products could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of restoration procedures.
Recently adopted and issued accounting standards
Recently adopted accounting standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. We adopted ASU 2024-04 on January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. ASU 2025-03 revises current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted ASU 2025-03 on January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This update provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. We adopted ASU 2025-05 on prospective basis on January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently issued accounting standard
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This update clarifies the applicability of Topic 270 and the form and content of interim financial statements. In addition, ASU 2025-11 requires entities to disclose material events occurring since the last annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2025-11; however, the standard will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
