The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates affecting the accompanying financial statements are the fair values of RMBS and derivatives.

The Company refers to RMBS and CMOs as PT RMBS and IO and IIO securities as structured RMBS. The Company also invests in U.S. Treasury Notes, primarily to satisfy collateral requirements of derivative counterparties. The Company has elected to account for its investment in RMBS and U.S. Treasury Notes under the fair value option. Electing the fair value option requires the Company to record changes in fair value in the statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of the Company's operations for a particular reporting period and is consistent with the underlying economics and how the portfolio is managed. The Company records securities transactions on the trade date.

Estimated fair values for RMBS are based on independent pricing sources and/or third Income on PT RMBS and U.S. Treasury Notes is based on the stated interest rate of the security.

RMBS, Eurodollar, Fed Funds and T-Note futures contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions and TBA securities are accounted for at fair value in the balance sheets. The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value for these instruments are presented in Note 12 The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, receivable for securities sold, other assets, due to affiliates, repurchase agreements, payable for unsettled securities purchased, accrued interest payable and other liabilities generally approximates their carrying values as Level 2 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Repurchase Agreements The Company finances the acquisition of the majority of its RMBS through the use of repurchase agreements under master repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contractual amounts, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements. Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Obligations to Return Securities Borrowed under Reverse Repurchase Agreements The Company borrows securities to cover short sales of U.S. Treasury securities through reverse repo transactions under our master repurchase agreements. We account for these as securities borrowing transactions and recognize an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on the balance sheet based on the value of the underlying borrowed securities as of the reporting date. The securities received as collateral in connection with our reverse repurchase agreements mitigate our credit risk exposure to counterparties. Our reverse repurchase agreements typically have maturities of 30 Manager Compensation The Company is externally managed by Bimini Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “Bimini Advisors”), a Maryland limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bimini.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	NOTE 12. The framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price).

Required disclosures include stratification of balance sheet amounts measured at fair value based on inputs the Company uses to derive fair value measurements. These stratifications are: ● Level 1 ● Level 2 not ● Level 3 not may not The Company's RMBS and TBA securities are Level 2 third may zero The Company’s U.S. Treasury Notes are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets and are classified as Level 1 The Company’s futures contracts are Level 1 2 RMBS (based on the fair value option), derivatives and TBA securities were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 2020 not The following table presents financial assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 2021 not (in thousands) Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) December 31, 2022 Mortgage-backed securities $ - $ 3,540,002 $ - U.S. Treasury Notes 36,382 - - Interest rate swaps - 4,983 - Interest rate swaptions - 27,416 - Interest rate caps - 1,119 - TBA securities - (507 ) - December 31, 2021 Mortgage-backed securities $ - $ 6,511,095 $ - U.S. Treasury Notes 36,382 - - Interest rate swaps - 26,431 - Interest rate swaptions - 17,070 - TBA securities - (304 ) - During the years ended December 31, 2022 2021 no 1, 2 3.
