Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Investments

Investments

The Company’s investments on the consolidated balance sheet include both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities (see Investments section below). The Company’s strategic investments in equity securities of publicly traded and privately held companies are classified within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Equity Investments section below).

Investments

Investments on the consolidated balance sheet consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(in millions)
Available-for-sale securities	$	283	$	286
Held-to-maturity securities 1	81		306
Total investments	$	364	$	592

1Held-to-maturity securities represent investments in time deposits that mature within one year. The cost of these securities approximates fair value.

Investment income on the consolidated statement of operations primarily consists of interest income generated from cash, cash equivalents, held-to maturity and available-for-sale investment securities, as well as realized gains and losses on the Company’s investment securities. The realized gains and losses from the sales of available-for-sale securities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

Available-for-Sale Securities

The major classes of the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities and their respective amortized cost basis and fair values were as follows:

	March 31, 2024								December 31, 2023
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gain		Gross Unrealized Loss		Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gain		Gross Unrealized Loss		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Government and agency securities	$	89	$	—	$	—	$	89	$	86	$	—	$	—	$	86
Corporate securities	194		1		(1)		194		200		1		(1)		200
Total	$	283	$	1	$	(1)	$	283	$	286	$	1	$	(1)	$	286

The Company’s government and agency securities include U.S. government bonds, U.S. government sponsored agency bonds and foreign government bonds which are denominated in the national currency of the issuing country. Corporate securities held at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, primarily carried a credit rating of A- or better. Corporate securities are comprised of commercial paper and corporate bonds. The gross unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale securities are primarily driven by changes in interest rates. For the available-for-sale securities in gross unrealized loss positions, the Company (1) does not intend to sell the securities, (2) more likely than not, will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, and (3) expects that the contractual principal and interest will be received. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The maturity distribution based on the contractual terms of the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities at March 31, 2024 was as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Due within 1 year	$	151	$	151
Due after 1 year through 5 years	132		132
Total	$	283	$	283

Equity Investments

Included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet are equity investments with readily determinable fair values (“Marketable securities”) and equity investments without readily determinable fair values (“Nonmarketable securities”). Marketable securities are equity interests in publicly traded companies and are measured using unadjusted quoted prices in their respective active markets. Nonmarketable securities that do not qualify for equity method accounting are measured at cost, less any impairment and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer (“Measurement alternative”).

	Balance at December 31, 2023		Purchases		Sales		Changes in Fair Value 1		Other 2		Balance at March 31, 2024
