Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Due to the variable rate nature of the Credit Facility (including the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan), each as defined in Note 11, and the Margin Loan (as defined below), we believe that the carrying amount approximated fair value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy for input into valuation techniques as follows: i. Level 1 input: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instrument; ii. Level 2 input: observable market data for the same or similar instrument but not Level 1, including quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and iii. Level 3 input: unobservable inputs developed using management's assumptions about the inputs used for pricing the asset or liability. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value were as follows:
| September 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total Fair Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1 |

(a)Level 1 financial instrument assets are comprised of our deferred compensation plan assets. Refer to Note 13 for additional discussion. (b)The fair values of the Convertible Notes are based on quoted market prices but are not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined by GAAP. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion related to our debt. Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net, are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following and are included in Other income, net, on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations:
|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  |
Debt measured at fair value (a) |  | 3 |  |  | 22 |  |  | 7 |  |  | 117 |  |  |
Other |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 5 |  |  |
Total |  | $ | 3 |  |  | $ | 22 |  |  | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 122 |  |  |
(a)We elected to account for the 2.75% exchangeable senior debentures due 2049 (which are no longer outstanding) that were assumed as part of the Transactions (the “Exchangeable Notes”) and Convertible Notes using the fair value option. The Exchangeable Notes and the Convertible Notes were the obligations of Sirius XM Holdings. Sirius XM was not an obligor or guarantor of either the Exchangeable Notes or the Convertible Notes. Changes in the fair value of the Exchangeable Notes and Convertible Notes recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable or convertible. We isolate the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognize such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the Exchangeable Notes and Convertible Notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a loss of $1 and a loss of $16 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a loss of $7 and a loss of $30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cumulative change in fair value since issuance was a loss of $17 as of September 30, 2025, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.
