The following summarizes the Company’s current investments. Equity Method Investments The ADGM Entity On January 27, 2023, the Company and Zero Two (formerly known as FS Innovation, LLC) entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement to form an Abu Dhabi Global Markets company (the “ADGM Entity”) in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. The ADGM Entity commenced mining operations in September 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received a non-monetary dividend in the amount of $4.4 million associated with approximately 1,950 mining rigs distributed by Zero Two. The Company recorded the mining rigs to property and equipment at fair value and, accordingly, recognized an impairment of $4.1 million that reduced the Company’s investment in the ADGM Entity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s share of net losses was $2.1 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.6 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s investment in the ADGM Entity was $66.9 million and is reflected in “Investments” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other Investments Other investments consist of strategic investments made from time to time in equity securities and SAFE investments.
