Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 17. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST On April 2, 2024, we entered into agreements with the minority members of each of FIF Utah, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC, entities controlled by us as majority member. Under these agreements, the minority members of each of the entities exchanged their membership interests in the LLCs for unregistered shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock. Under the securities exchange agreements, Alpine Networks, Inc., a company owned by Steven McGhie, the then Chief Executive Officer of Boston Omaha Broadband, and the sole owner of the minority interest in FIF Utah, LLC, exchanged its approximate 17% interest in FIF Utah, LLC for 275,611 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $4,400,000. The two owners of the minority interests in FIF St. George, LLC exchanged their combined 20% interest in FIF St. George, LLC for 563,750 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $9,000,000. As a result, Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, now owns 100% of the membership interests in each of FIF Utah, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC. In each transaction, the value for the unregistered Boston Omaha Class A common stock was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of a share of Boston Omaha Class A common stock for the 30 trading days ended March 28, 2024 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange. The difference between the fair value of the Class A shares issued and the carrying balance of the noncontrolling interests at the date of the transaction is recorded within additional paid in capital within our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
