As of both January 31, 2025 and 2024, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for marketable debt securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Total unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for fiscal 2025. Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both January 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for both fiscal 2025 and 2024. There were no material realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of debt securities during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023. Realized gains and losses from the sale or redemption of marketable securities are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities were as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended

Marketable debt securities | $ | 861 |  |  | $ | 764 |  |  | $ | 450 |
Strategic investments in equity securities As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, Autodesk had $168 million and $162 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investments in equity securities do not have readily determined fair values and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. These strategic investments in equity securities are generally subject to a security-specific restriction which limits the sale or transfer of the respective equity security during the holding period. Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investments in equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative are included in Interest and Other Income (Expense), net on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments were as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended |  | Cumulative Amount as of
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | January 31, 2025
Upward adjustments | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 6 |  |  | $ | 29 |

Autodesk does not consider the remaining investments to be impaired as of January 31, 2025. Fair Value Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by significant investment category as of January 31, 2025 and 2024:
