Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments	Investments Special Purpose Acquisition Company In April 2021, the Company sponsored a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Inc. (“MEOA”), through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Minority Equality Opportunities Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (“SPAC Sponsor”). MEOA’s purpose is to focus initially on transactions with companies that are minority owned businesses. MEOA’s IPO was completed on August 30, 2021. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held an aggregate of 3,162,500 shares of MEOA’s Class B common stock. In August 2022, MEOA entered into a business combination agreement with MEOA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MEOA (“Merger Sub”), and Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Digerati”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Digerati (the “Digerati Merger”), with Digerati surviving the Digerati Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of MEOA, and with Digerati’s equity holders receiving shares of MEOA common stock. On November 29, 2022, MEOA held a special meeting of stockholders (the “MEOA Meeting”). At the MEOA Meeting, MEOA’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to MEOA’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which MEOA must consummate its initial business combination from November 30, 2022 to May 30, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by MEOA’s board of directors. On November 30, 2022, after giving effect to the redemption of public shares of MEOA, the Company’s subsidiary owns a controlling interest of MEOA and it has been consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On July 3, 2023, MEOA announced that it did not complete an initial business combination on or prior to June 30, 2023, the deadline by which it must have completed an initial business combination, and intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of its amended charter. As of the close of business on July 3, 2023, MEOA’s public shares were deemed cancelled and represent only the right to receive the redemption amount. MEOA instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee of the trust account, to take all necessary actions to liquidate the securities held in the trust account. The redemption of MEOA’s public shares was completed in the third quarter of 2023. The SPAC Sponsor agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to its outstanding Class B common stock issued prior to MEOA’s initial public offering. There were no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to MEOA’s warrants, which expired worthless.
