Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Activities Ironstone Group, Inc. and subsidiaries purchases business interests where the Company has a relationship and influence; examples include being a current or prior board of director member, providing seed level capital, and serving in an advisory capacity. Currently Ironstone Group, Inc. is seeking appropriate business combination opportunities. Ironstone Group, Inc, (“Ironstone” or the “Company”) a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in 1972. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ironstone Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, AcadiEnergy, Inc., Belt Perry Associates, Inc., DeMoss Corporation, and TaxNet, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 and nine months ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by management, without audit by independent auditors who do not express an opinion thereon and does not include all disclosures required for annual periods. The last audited annual report on Form 10-K was for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those were disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Going Concern These financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Ironstone Group has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations over the last ten years. The Company has operated in the past principally with the assistance of loans from private institutions and related party individuals. The on-going accrual of unpaid interest on external and related party debt, excluding the LOC, continues to increase the financial risk to the Company as a going concern. Conversion of a material portion of the outstanding debt to equity will help alleviate such financial pressure. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities Marketable and non-marketable securities have been classified by management as available for sale in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, marketable securities are recorded at fair value and any unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are based on quoted market prices. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. For marketable securities for which there is an other-than-temporary impairment, an impairment loss is recognized as a realized loss, and related adjustments are not made for recovery in value. The Company has not realized any such impairment losses to date. Securities determined to be non-marketable by the Company do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using various pricing models and the information available to the Company that it deems most relevant. Among the factors considered by the Company in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flows, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price of publicly traded securities with similar duration and yield, the Black-Scholes Options Valuation methodology adjusted for active market, the share price of recent round of financings by an outsider, and other considerations on a case-by-case basis and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Significant estimates made in the financial statements relate to the valuation of the Company’s non-marketable investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a full valuation allowance has been recorded to offset loss carryforwards as, in management’s opinion, there is uncertainty as to whether or not the Company will be able to generate taxable income in the future. The Company follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Company to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The Company has determined that there is no effect on the financial statements from this authoritative guidance. The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of September 30, 2022, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2017 2016 Stock-Based Compensation Ironstone recognizes the fair value of stock options granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the option grant, which is the standard vesting term of three Basic and Diluted Loss per Share Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution from potentially dilutive securities, except where inclusion of such potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect, using the average stock price during the period in the computation and because of the net loss for the periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “ Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies others and introduces additional disclosure requirements for entities. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 Level 3 In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and interest payable given their short-term nature. Furthermore, the fair value of the Company’s notes payable are initially measured at fair value given that they are estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block] | 9. MANAGEMENT S PLANS As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses and has a negative cash flow from operations. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon future events, including liquidity events in privately held investments in excess of purchase price, and or the profitable sale of publicly traded investments. If necessary, to provide liquidity, the Company may seek to sell additional equity securities, or convert existing privately held debt to equity, providing the debt holders are agreeable to the terms and share conversion price. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to complete any financing, liquidity, or debt conversion transaction, that such financing, liquidity, or debt conversion transaction will be adequate for the Company’s needs, or that a financing, liquidity or debt conversion transaction will be completed in a timely manner. Furthermore, the Company may seek to sell its marketable securities to meet its operating needs. However, the fair value of these marketable securities fluctuates and may not be adequate for the Company’s needs. The Company has extended its line of credit payment terms with the lender with similar terms to the recently expired line of credit. |
