(i) In April 2021, the Company began originating loans in the U.S. through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Square Financial Services, Inc., and discontinued a prior arrangement with an industrial bank partner. Refer to Note 6, Loans Held for Investment for further details. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities The following table presents the detail of accrued expenses and other current liabilities (in thousands):
(i) Square Payroll payable represents amounts received from Square Payroll product customers that will be utilized to settle the customers' employee payroll and related obligations. (ii) The Company is exposed to potential credit losses related to transactions processed by sellers that are subsequently subject to chargebacks when the Company is unable to collect from the sellers primarily due to insolvency.

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s reserve for transaction losses (in thousands):
In addition to amounts reflected in the table above, the Company recognized additional provision for transaction losses that were realized and written-off within the same period. The Company recorded $80.3 million and $162.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $58.3 million and $97.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, for such losses. OTHER CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS (NON-CURRENT)Other Non-Current Assets The following table presents the detail of other non-current assets (in thousands):
(i) Investment in non-marketable equity securities includes the Company's investments in equity instruments of non-public entities. These investments are measured using the measurement alternative and are therefore carried at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. Additionally, the Company holds a non-marketable common stock warrant in a public entity. The warrant is carried at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded within other expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. (ii) In December 2020, upon completion of the initial public offering of DoorDash Inc. ("DoorDash"), the shares of preferred stock held by the Company converted into Class A common stock of DoorDash. The investment was carried at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded within other income or expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net gains of $73.3 million and $44.4 million, respectively, arising from the revaluation of the investment. In June 2021, the Company completed the sale of its remaining investment in DoorDash and it will have no further impact on the Company's results in future periods. (iii) The Company invested $50.0 million and $170.0 million in bitcoin in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively. Bitcoin is accounted for as an indefinite lived intangible asset, and thus, is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. Impairment losses cannot be recovered for any subsequent increase in fair value until the sale of the asset. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company began lending a portion of its bitcoin investments to third parties. As of June 30, 2021, $6.3 million of the Company's investments in bitcoin had been loaned to third party borrowers. Bitcoin is an indefinite-lived intangible asset and under the terms of the lending arrangement it must be returned to the Company. As such, the bitcoin lent will not be derecognized and will continue to be carried at cost less impairment losses. Income generated from the lending arrangement is recorded in other expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded impairment charges of $45.3 million and $65.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the observed market price of bitcoin decreasing below the carrying value during the period. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the investment in bitcoin was $281.4 million based on observable market prices which is $126.5 million in excess of the Company's carrying value of $154.9 million. Other Non-Current Liabilities The following table presents the detail of other non-current liabilities (in thousands):
(i) Statutory liabilities represent loss contingencies that may arise from the Company's interpretation and application of certain guidelines and rules issued by various federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory authorities.
