Safeguarding customer crypto assets and liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customer crypto assets and are based on Level 2 inputs. The Company has valued the assets and liabilities using quoted market prices for the underlying crypto assets.

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. The Company’s crypto assets held, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-08, and the Company’s strategic investments, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value of crypto assets held are based predominantly on Level 1 inputs and fair value measurements for strategic investments are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s strategic investments is adjusted based on an Option-Pricing Model that uses publicly available market data of comparable companies and other unobservable inputs including expected volatility, expected time to liquidity, adjustments for other company-specific developments, and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds.

Assets and liabilities not measured and recorded at fair value

The Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, certain customer custodial funds, USDC, accounts receivable, fiat loan receivables, fiat collateral, and

customer custodial cash liabilities are not measured at fair value. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their liquid or short-term nature. If these financial instruments were recorded at fair value, they would be based on Level 1 inputs.

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Convertible Notes, 2030 Convertible Notes, and the 2028 and 2031 Senior Notes were $1.4 billion, $1.3 billion, and $1.5 billion, respectively. These are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, which is considered a Level 2 valuation input.
