Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS	DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS CompoSecure, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. ("Holdings") is a manufacturer and designer of complex metal, composite and proprietary financial transaction cards. The Company was founded and commenced operations in 2000. The Company provides products and services primarily to global financial institutions, plastic card manufacturers, system integrators, and security specialists. The Company is located in Somerset, New Jersey. Since its inception, the Company has established itself as a technology partner to market leaders, fintechs and consumers enabling trust for millions of people around the globe. The Company combines elegance, simplicity and security to deliver exceptional experiences and peace of mind in the physical and digital world. The Company’s innovative payment card technology and metal cards with Arculus secure authentication and digital asset storage capabilities deliver unique, premium branded experiences, enable people to access and use their financial and digital assets, and ensure trust at the point of a transaction. The Company creates newly innovated, highly differentiated and customized quality financial payment products for banks and other payment card issuers to support and increase their customer acquisition, customer retention and organic customer spend. The Company’s customers consist primarily of leading international and domestic banks and other payment card issuers primarily within the United States (“U.S.”), with additional direct and indirect customers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada, and the Middle East. The Company is a platform for next generation payment technology, security, and authentication solutions. The Company maintains trusted, highly-embedded and long-term customer relationships with an expanding set of global issuers. The Company has established a niche position in the financial payment card market with 25 years of innovation and experience and is focused primarily on this attractive subsector of the financial technology market. The Company serves a diverse set of direct customers and indirect customers, including some of the largest issuers of credit cards in the U.S. Prior to the transactions discussed below, the Company had operated as an umbrella partnership C corporation (“Up-C”), meaning that the sole asset of the Company was its interest in Holdings and the related deferred tax asset. Holdings had been an entity taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and was owned by both the historical owners and the Company. On August 7, 2024, all of the Company's Class B stockholders and affiliates of Resolute Compo Holdings, LLC, including Tungsten 2024 LLC, (collectively, "Tungsten"), entered into stock purchase agreements pursuant to which the selling shareholders would exchange their 51,908,422 Class B units, and corresponding Class B shares, for Class A shares (collectively, the "Tungsten Transactions"), eliminating the Company's existing dual-share class structure. The Company was not party to the stock purchase agreements related to the Tungsten Transactions. The Tungsten Transactions closed on September 17, 2024 and as a result, Tungsten became the majority owner of the Company by acquiring 49,290,409 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $372 million, or $7.55 per share, representing an approximately 60% voting interest in the Company at the time of the Tungsten Transactions. Subsequent to the Tungsten Transactions, the Company no longer has Class B shares outstanding nor the associated non-controlling interest. The Company's tax receivable agreement liability and future payments thereunder increased as the Company realized an increase in the tax basis of the assets of Holdings resulting from the exchange of the equity in Holdings by unitholders in connection with the Tungsten Transactions. On September 27, 2024, Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. ("Resolute Holdings") was created as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. On February 28, 2025, the Company completed the previously-announced spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of Resolute Holdings. In connection with the Spin-Off, Holdings entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") pursuant to which Resolute Holdings provides management and other related services to Holdings in exchange for payment of quarterly management fees. The Spin-Off of Resolute Holdings from the Company was achieved through the distribution of all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Resolute Holdings ("Resolute Holdings Common Stock"), on a pro rata basis, to holders of record of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“CompoSecure Common Stock”). Each holder of record of CompoSecure Common Stock received one share of Resolute Holdings Common Stock for every twelve shares of CompoSecure Common Stock held on February 20, 2025, the record date for the Spin-Off. In lieu of fractional shares of Resolute Holdings Common Stock, holders of CompoSecure Common Stock received cash. The distribution of shares in connection with the Spin-Off constituted an extraordinary dividend as defined in the warrant agreement related to previously issued warrants in connection with a prior transaction. As a result, the warrant price was decreased from $11.50 per share of CompoSecure Common Stock to $7.97 per share of CompoSecure Common Stock, and the redemption trigger price was decreased from $18.00 per share of CompoSecure Common Stock to $14.47 per share of CompoSecure Common Stock, effective as of February 28, 2025. By virtue of control of the board of managers of Holdings, the Company historically operated and controlled the business and affairs of Holdings and thus consolidated Holdings. As of February 28, 2025 and subsequent to the Spin-Off and the execution of the Management Agreement with Resolute Holdings, Resolute Holdings controls and is required to consolidate Holdings. As a result, the Company no longer consolidates Holdings and accounts for the investment in Holdings as an equity method investment. See Note 5 for additional discussion.
