Stock Options - During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $2.7 million and $4.4 million of stock-based compensation expense for stock options, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $10.0 million and $14.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for stock options, respectively. We did not grant options in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We granted 200,000 options of Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the weighted average grant-date fair value of those options was $7.30 per share.
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options of $9.0 million and $25.1 million, respectively. This expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 1.2 years and 2.1 years, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised totaled $62.1 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock Awards - The estimated fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") is based on the fair value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $15.8 million and $9.6 million of stock-based compensation expense for stock awards, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $40.6 million and $33.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for stock awards, respectively.
As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had $119.1 million and $62.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock awards, expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years and 2.2 years, respectively.
During 2020 and 2021, we granted PSUs to certain executive officers and employees that only vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial or operational performance criteria. Stock-based compensation expense associated with these PSUs is recognized over the service period as we evaluate the probability of the achievement of the performance conditions.
In May 2021, we issued RSUs and PSUs to our Chief Executive Officer. The RSUs vest over four years. Some of the PSUs can be earned based on achieving certain financial performance goals while the remaining are earned based upon achieving certain stock price goals. The PSUs will be subject to a two-year post-vest holding period in which the award holder will be restricted from selling any shares (net of shares settled for taxes). As of September 30, 2021, the unamortized compensation expense for the RSUs and PSUs was $27.0 million. Actual compensation expense is dependent on the performance of the PSUs that vest based upon a performance condition. We estimated the fair value of the PSUs that vest based on a market condition on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 71.2%, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 1.6%, and (iii) no expected dividend yield.
