During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we closed a series of transactions to acquire additional equity interests in an existing strategic investee for an aggregate amount of $189.8 million. We also recognized a gain of $158.8 million related to an observable price change for existing investments in the same strategic investee. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we also acquired equity interests in a separate strategic investee for an aggregate amount of $49.9 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we closed a series of transactions to acquire additional equity interests in an existing strategic investee for an aggregate amount of $215.1 million. We also recognized a gain of $167.4 million related to an observable price change of a separate existing strategic investee. Furthermore, we entered into a series of transactions to sell certain interests for cash consideration of $340.7 million in the same strategic investee, which was received during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Previously unrealized gains of $320.8 million were realized from the collective sales, net of $1.3 million of transaction costs.
