Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the “Company” or “U.S. Global”) serves as investment adviser to U.S. Global Investors Funds (“USGIF” or the “Fund(s)”), a Delaware statutory trust that is a no-load, open-end investment company offering shares in numerous mutual funds to the investing public. The Company also provides administrative services to USGIF. For these services, the Company receives fees from USGIF. The Company also provides advisory services to SEC registered exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). Until March 2020, the Company held a controlling interest in Galileo Global Equity Advisors Inc. (“Galileo”), a privately held Toronto-based asset management firm. The Company has the following subsidiaries utilized primarily for corporate investment purposes: U.S. Global Investors (Bermuda) Limited (“USBERM”), incorporated in Bermuda, and U.S. Global Investors (Canada) Limited (“USCAN”). The Company created U.S. Global Indices, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, of which the Company is the sole member, to provide indexing services to exchange-traded funds managed by the Company. Effective March 2, 2020, the Company sold its shares in Galileo back to Galileo. Through the date of sale, Galileo was consolidated with the operations of the Company. The non-controlling interest in this subsidiary was included in “Non-Controlling Interest in Subsidiary” in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Frank Holmes, CEO, and Lisa Callicotte, CFO, served as directors of Galileo through March 2, 2020, and Lisa Callicotte served as CFO of Galileo from June 2019 through March 2, 2020. See Note 3 below for further information. Results of operations of Galileo through the date of sale are presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Should the global financial markets be negatively affected by COVID-19, there could be an adverse material financial impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future impact, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the economic impact. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation. Until March 2, 2020, the Company, through USCAN, owned 65 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Galileo, which represents controlling interest of Galileo. Galileo was consolidated with USCAN and the non-controlling interest in this subsidiary is included in “non-controlling interest in subsidiary” in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There are two primary consolidation models in U.S. GAAP, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and voting interest entity models. The Company’s evaluation for consolidation includes whether entities in which it has an interest or from which it receives fees are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis. A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lacks certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns and consolidates the VIE on the basis of having a controlling financial interest. The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain funds it advises, specifically, certain funds in USGIF. The Company’s interests in these VIEs consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein and any fees earned but uncollected. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may choose to waive certain fees or assume operating expenses of the funds it advises for competitive, regulatory or contractual reasons (see Note 5 for information regarding fee waivers). The Company has not provided financial support to any of these entities outside the ordinary course of business. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and fees receivable from, the entities. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s total exposure to unconsolidated VIEs, consisting of the carrying value of investment securities and receivables for fees, was $7.3 million at June 30, 2021, and $7.0 million at June 30, 2020. Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the above funds it advises, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of any of the above funds it advises; therefore, the Company does not consolidate any of these funds. The Company currently holds a variable interest in a fund organized as a limited partnership advised by Galileo, but this entity does not qualify as a VIE. Since it is not a VIE, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate it under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of the entity and, therefore, does not consolidate it. However, the Company was considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See further information about this investment in Note 4. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Restricted Cash. Investments. Investments in Equity Securities Investments in Debt Securities. Embedded derivatives. Other Investments. Equity Method Investments. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Receivables. Property and Equipment. Leases. Fixed lease payments are included in right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities within other assets and liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Fixed lease payments made over the lease term are recorded as lease expense on a straight-line basis. Variable lease payments based on usage, changes in an index or market rate are expensed as incurred. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, for existing leases, the Company elected to determine the discount rate based on the remaining lease term as of July 1, 2019. For new leases, the discount rates are based on the entire noncancelable lease term. The Company is the lessor of certain areas of its owned office building under operating leases. The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company elected not to separate lease and related non-lease components and account for the combined component as an operating lease. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Non-Controlling Interests. Treasury Stock. Stock-Based Compensation. Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company has elected to treat the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax as a period expense. The Company also elected to use the tax law ordering approach when assessing the realization of net operating losses related to GILTI. Revenue Recognition. Investment Advisory Fees Performance Fees.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 clarifies areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (Topic 326). The standard follows the effective dates of the previously issued ASUs, unless an entity has already early adopted the previous ASUs, in which case the effective date will vary according to each specific ASU adoption. The new guidance in ASU 2019-04 on recognizing and measuring financial instruments will be effective for smaller reporting companies, including U.S. Global, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. If an entity has adopted all of the amendments to ASU 2016-01, it is permitted to early adopt the new guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS USCAN entered into a binding letter of intent dated December 30, 2019, with Galileo whereby Galileo, pursuant to a capital restructuring, agreed to repurchase all of its common shares owned by USCAN for $1.0 million (Canadian). The transaction was subject to the approval of Canadian securities regulatory authorities and to the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The transaction closed effective March 2, 2020. Proceeds of approximately $746,000 were received (the equivalent of $1.0 million Canadian), and a realized gain of approximately $151,000 was recorded. In addition, approximately $228,000 in foreign currency loss was released from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into fiscal year 2020 realized foreign currency loss upon closing the sale. After the transaction, the Company has not and will not have continuing involvement with the operations of Galileo, except for an equity method investment in a fund managed by Galileo. See further information on this equity method investment in Note 4, Investments. The results of Galileo through the March 2, 2020, closing date are reflected as “discontinued operations” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are therefore, excluded from continuing operations results. Operations of Galileo had previously been presented as the separate business segment of Investment Management Services – Canada. There were no assets or liabilities classified as discontinued operations at June 30, 2021, or June 30, 2020. Receivables of Galileo included advisory fees owed to Galileo by the funds and clients it manages. Galileo fixed assets, consisting of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, were depreciated over 2 to 5 years. Galileo had leases for office equipment and facilities.

Galileo investment advisory agreements have a single performance obligation, since the promised services are not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreements and, therefore, are not distinct. Galileo may also receive performance fees from certain clients when market appreciation or realized net gains exceeds established benchmarks on an annual or quarterly basis. Performance fees, which were included in advisory fees in the table above, were recognized when it was determined that they were no longer probable of significant reversal. Galileo recorded no performance fees for the year ended June 30, 2020. Galileo may, at its discretion, waive and absorb some of its clients’ operating expenses. The amount of fund expenses waived and absorbed was $39,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020. |

Investments and Other Noncurrent Assets [Text Block] | NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 2021, the Company held investments carried at fair value of $35.3 million and a cost basis of $23.1 million. The fair value of these investments is approximately 56.7 percent of the Company’s total assets at June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company held other investments of approximately $3.5 million, held-to-maturity debt investments of $1.0 million and investments of $532,000 accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The cost basis of investments are adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount on debt securities held or the recharacterization of distributions from investments in partnerships, if applicable. Fair Value Hierarchy Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for measuring financial instruments at fair value are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in active markets. Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of the assets, such as interest rates and yield curves; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets. The Company is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets and it may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in valuing assets. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with the investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected may materially differ from the values received upon actual sale of those investments. The Company has established a Proprietary Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) to administer and oversee the Company’s valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board of Directors, and to perform a periodic review of valuations provided by independent pricing services. For actively traded securities, the Company values investments using the closing price of the securities on the exchange or market on which the securities principally trade. If the security is not traded on the last business day of the quarter, it is generally valued at the mean between the last bid and ask quotation. The fair value of a security that has a restriction is based on the quoted price for an otherwise identical unrestricted instrument that trades in a public market, adjusted for the estimated effect of the restriction. Mutual funds, which include open- and closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds, are valued at net asset value or closing price, as applicable. For common share purchase warrants not traded on an exchange, the estimated fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This sophisticated model utilizes a number of assumptions in arriving at its results, including the estimated life, the risk-free interest rate, and historical volatility of the underlying common stock. The Company may change the assumption of the risk-free interest rate and utilize the yield curve for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings and jurisdiction, or change the expected volatility. The effects of changing any of the assumptions or factors employed by the Black-Scholes model may result in a significantly different valuation. Certain convertible debt securities not traded on an exchange are valued by an independent pricing service using a binomial lattice model based on factors such as yield, quality, maturity, coupon rate, type of issuance, individual trading characteristics of the underlying common shares and other market data. The model utilizes a number of assumptions in arriving at its results. The effects of changing any of the assumptions or factors utilized in the binomial lattice model, including expected volatility, credit adjusted discount rates, and discounts for lack of marketability, may result in a significantly different valuation for the securities. For other securities included in the fair value hierarchy with unobservable inputs, the Committee considers a number of factors in determining a security’s fair value, including the security’s trading volume, market values of similar class issuances, investment personnel’s judgment regarding the market experience of the issuer, financial status of the issuer, the issuer’s management, and back testing, as appropriate. The fair values may differ from what may have been used had a broader market for these securities existed. The Committee reviews inputs and assumptions and reports material items to the Board of Directors. Securities which do not have readily determinable fair values are also periodically reviewed by the Committee. The following summarizes the major categories of investments with fair values adjusted on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, with fair values shown according to the fair value hierarchy.

(“HIVE”), which were warrants and convertible debentures valued at $25.1 million and classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2021, and common shares valued at $2.4 million and classified as Level 1 at June 30, 2020. The following table is a reconciliation of investments recorded at fair value for which unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value during the year ended June 30, 2021: Changes in Level 3 Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands) Investments in equity securities Investments in debt securities Beginning Balance $ - $ - Purchases 5,853 9,147 Sales - - Principal repayments - (1,408 ) Amortization of Premium (investment income) - (178 ) Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized) Included in earnings (investment income) 2,173 1,180 Included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (other) - 8,308 Transfers into Level 3 - - Transfers out of Level 3 - - Ending Balance $ 8,026 $ 17,049 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased convertible securities of HIVE, a company that is headquartered and traded in Canada with cryptocurrency mining facilities in Iceland, Sweden, and Canada, for $15.0 million. The convertible securities are comprised of 8.0% interest-bearing unsecured convertible debentures, payable in quarterly installments with a final maturity in January 2026, and 5 million common share purchase warrants in the capital of HIVE. The principal amount of each debenture is convertible into common shares in the capital of HIVE at a conversion rate of $2.34, and the remaining principal amount is $14.3 million as of June 30, 2021. Each whole warrant, expiring in January 2024, entitles the Company to acquire one common share at a price of $3.00 (Canadian). Cryptocurrency markets and related securities have been, and are expected to continue to be, volatile. There has been significant volatility in the market price of HIVE, which has materially impacted the value of the investments included on the balance sheet, unrealized gain recognized in investment income (loss), and unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The investments did not represent ownership in HIVE as of June 30, 2021. The securities are subject to Canadian securities regulations. Frank Holmes serves on the board as non-executive chairman of HIVE and held shares and options at June 30, 2021. Effective August 31, 2018, Mr. Holmes was named Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE while a search for a new CEO is undertaken. The Company recorded the warrants at the estimated fair value of $5.9 million on purchase date. The debentures were recorded at the estimated fair value of $16.0 million on purchase date, and an unrealized gain of $6.9 million was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which will be realized in investment income (loss) ratably using the effective interest method until maturity, conversion, or other disposition. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, $1.2 million was realized in investment income (loss). The fair value of the warrants and debentures was $8.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021. The Company currently considers the related fair value measurements to contain Level 3 inputs. The following is quantitative information as of June 30, 2021, with respect to the securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands) Fair Value Principal Valuation Techniques Unobservable Inputs Investments in equity securities: Common share purchase warrants $ 8,026 Option pricing model Volatility 88.1 % Investments in debt securities: Available-for-sale - Convertible debentures $ 17,049 Binomial lattice model Volatility 60.1 % Credit Adjusted Discount Rate 1.9 % During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold its investment of 10 million common shares in HIVE. The cost of the 10 million shares was $2.4 million. In fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”) and its amendments. On July 1, 2018, the Company reclassified $3.2 million of unrealized gains related to its investment in HIVE from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Retained Earnings. Therefore, when the HIVE investment in common shares was sold, the amount included in realized gains on sales of fair valued securities was the proceeds of $20.6 million, less the cost of $2.4 million and the ASU 2016-01 reclassified unrealized gains of $3.2 million, or $15.0 million. The Company has an investment in Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (“Thunderbird”), a company headquartered and traded in Canada, which was valued at approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 2021, and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. This investment was valued at approximately $1.2 million at June 30, 2020 and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized gains on sales totaled $936,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The Company’s ownership of Thunderbird was approximately 1.6 percent as of June 30, 2021. Frank Holmes served on the board of this company as a director from June 2014 to March 2021. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold its investment in GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (“GoldSpot”), a technology company headquartered and traded in Canada which leverages machine learning in natural resource exploration, and recorded realized gains on sales of fair valued securities of $600,000. The investment was valued at approximately $806,000 at June 30, 2020, of which $774,000 was classified as Level 1 and $32,000 was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The portion of the investment classified in Level 2 was restricted for resale due to escrow and regulatory provisions; its valuation was based on the quoted market price adjusted for the restriction on resale. The remaining shares in escrow were released in August 2020. Frank Holmes served on the board of this company as director from February 2019 to June 2020 and as independent chairman from February 2019 to May 2020 and held common stock and options at June 30, 2020. Equity Investments at Fair Value Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, and changes in unrealized gains or losses are reported in current period earnings. The following details the components of the Company’s equity investments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2021, and 2020. June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands) Cost Unrealized Gains (Losses) Fair Value Equity securities at fair value Equities - International $ 7,076 $ 3,922 $ 10,998 Equities - Domestic 45 (45 ) - Mutual funds - Fixed income 6,313 9 6,322 Mutual funds - Global equity 929 9 938 Mutual funds - Domestic equity - - - Total equity securities at fair value $ 14,363 $ 3,895 $ 18,258 June 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands) Cost Unrealized Gains (Losses) Fair Value Equity securities at fair value Equities - International $ 5,641 $ (1,162 ) $ 4,479 Equities - Domestic 45 (45 ) - Mutual funds - Fixed income 6,313 9 6,322 Mutual funds - Global equity - - - Mutual funds - Domestic equity 929 (266 ) 663 Total equity securities at fair value $ 12,928 $ (1,464 ) $ 11,464 Included in the preceding table was $7.3 million and $7.0 million as of June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively, at fair value invested in USGIF. Debt Investments Investments in debt securities are classified on the acquisition dates and at each balance sheet date. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, reflecting the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. Debt securities classified as trading are acquired with the intent to sell in the near term and are carried at fair value with changes reported in earnings. All other debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Investment gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded when the securities are sold, as determined on a specific identification basis, and recognized in current period earnings. Changes in unrealized gains are reported net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For securities in an unrealized loss position, a loss in earnings is recognized for the excess of amortized cost over fair value if the Company intends to sell before the price recovers. Otherwise, the Company evaluates as of the balance sheet date whether the unrealized losses are attributable to credit losses or other factors. The severity of the decline in value, creditworthiness of the issuer and other relevant factors are considered. The portion of unrealized loss the Company believes is related to a credit loss is recognized earnings, and the portion of unrealized loss the Company believes is not related to a credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. The following details the components of the Company’s debt investments as of June 30, 2021. The Company did not have any debt investments at June 30, 2020. June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands) Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains in Other Comprehensive Income Unrealized Losses in Other Comprehensive Income Fair Value Available-for-sale - Convertible debentures $ 8,741 $ 8,308 $ - $ 17,049 June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands) Amortized Cost Gross Unrecognized Holding Gains Gross Unrecognized Holding Losses Fair Value Held-to-maturity - Debentures $ 1,000 $ 3 $ - $ 1,003 Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. The net carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2021, are summarized below by contractual maturity dates. Actual maturities may differ from final contractual maturities due to principal repayment installments or prepayment rights held by issuers. June 30, 2021 Available-for-sale debt securities Held-to-maturity debt securities (dollars in thousands) Convertible debentures (1) Due after five years through ten years Net Carrying Amount $ 8,741 $ 1,000 Fair Value $ 17,049 $ 1,003 1. Principal payments are due quarterly with a final maturity in January 2026. Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments, such as the conversion option in a convertible bond, are reported at fair value, and changes in fair value are recorded through earnings within investment income (loss). The host contract continues to be accounted for in accordance with the appropriate accounting standard. The embedded derivative and the related host contract represent one legal contract and are combined on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the tables reflected above. The Company held one financial instrument containing an embedded derivative at June 30, 2021. The following table summarizes the fair values of embedded derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, categorized by risk exposure, at June 30, 2021. June 30, 2021 Other Assets (dollars in thousands) Investments in available-for-sale debt securities Embedded Derivatives: Equity price risk exposure $ 2,542 The embedded derivatives presented in the table above were bifurcated from the related host contract on June 30, 2021; as such, there was no effect on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. The Company did not have any embedded derivatives at June 30, 2020. Other Investments The carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values was approximately $3.5 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company has elected to value these investments using the measurement alternative, under which such securities are measured at cost, less impairment, if any. If the Company identifies observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer, the equity security is measured at fair value as of the date the observable transaction occurred, with such changes recorded in investment income (loss). The carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values has been adjusted as follows: Year Ended June 30, (dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 Carrying amount, beginning of period $ 1,283 $ 1,404 Adjustments: Purchases 863 125 Reclassification to securities at fair value (187 ) - Impairments (6 ) (285 ) Other downward adjustments (158 ) (124 ) Upward adjustments 1,658 163 Carrying amount, end of period $ 3,453 $ 1,283 One security purchased during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, started trading on a stock exchange, and was reclassified to securities at fair value. A total of four securities were remeasured at various dates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, with carrying amounts totaling $2.1 million and $470,000, classified as Level 2 and Level 3, according to the fair value hierarchy, respectively. There were impairment adjustments to one security totaling $6,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Cumulative impairment adjustments to all equity securities without readily determinable fair values total $543,000 since their respective acquisitions through June 30, 2021. The cumulative amount of other downward adjustments, which include return of capital distributions and observable price changes, is $935,000, which includes $158,000 for the year ended June 30, 2021, and $124,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020. The cumulative amount of upward adjustments, which primarily consist of observable price changes, is $2.3 million, which includes $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2021, and $163,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020. Investments Classified as Equity Method The Company has an equity method investment in Galileo New Economy Fund LP (previously known as Galileo Technology and Blockchain LP), a Canadian limited partnership managed by Galileo. The Company owns approximately 22 percent of the LP as of June 30, 2021, and the Company is considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Included in other income (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, is $347,000 and ($142,000), respectively, of equity method income (loss) for this investment. The Company’s investment in the LP had a carrying value of approximately $532,000 and $158,000 at June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively. Frank Holmes also directly held an investment in the LP as of June 30, 2021. This investment has a concentration in technology and blockchain companies, which may result in volatility in its valuation. Investment Income (Loss) The following summarizes investment income (loss) reflected in earnings from continuing operations for the periods presented. (dollars in thousands) Year Ended June 30, Investment Income (Loss) 2021 2020 Unrealized gains (losses) on fair valued securities $ 8,479 $ (2,011 ) Unrealized gains on equity securities without readily determinable fair values 1,430 - Realized gains on sales of fair valued securities 16,572 - Realized gains on principal payment proceeds 1,180 - Realized gain on sale of subsidiary - 151 Realized foreign currency gains (losses) 219 (232 ) Impairments in equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values (6 ) (285 ) Dividend and interest income 464 166 Total Investment Income (Loss) $ 28,338 $ (2,211 ) For the year ended June 30, 2021, realized gains on principal payment proceeds in the amount of $1.2 million was released from other comprehensive income (loss).

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity and Share-based Payments [Text Block] | NOTE 12. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY The Company has three classes of common equity: class A, class B, and class C common stock. The Company’s class A common stock is traded over-the-counter and is quoted daily under NASDAQ’s Capital Markets under the symbol “GROW.” There is no established public trading market for the Company’s class B and class C common stock. There are no shares of class B stock issued as of June 30, 2021, or 2020. The Company’s class A and class B common stock have no voting privileges. Dividends Dividends totaling $552,000 and $390,000 were paid to holders of class A common stock in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. Dividends of $88,000 and $62,000 were paid to holders of class C common stock in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The dividend rate for both classes was $0.0025 per month during fiscal year 2020 and through January 2021 and $0.0050 from February 2021 through June 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Board has authorized a monthly dividend of $0.0050 per share through September 2021, at which time it will be considered for continuation by the Board. Payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions. On a per share basis, the holders of the class C common stock and the nonvoting class A common stock participate equally in dividends as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. See Note 19 for subsequent change in monthly dividend. Share Repurchase Plan The Company has a share repurchase program, approved by the Board of Directors, authorizing the Company to annually purchase up to $2.75 million of its outstanding common shares, as market and business conditions warrant, on the open market in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through December 31, 2021. The repurchase program has been in place since December 2012, and the Board of Directors has annually renewed the repurchase program each calendar year. The acquired shares may be used for corporate purposes, including shares issued to employees in the Company’s stock-based compensation programs. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $2.5 million remains available for repurchase under this authorization. During fiscal years 2021 and 2020, the Company repurchased 53,151 and 105,721, respectively, of its class A shares on the open market using cash of $314,000 and $113,000, respectively. To date, the Company has repurchased a total of 719,682 class A shares under the repurchase program using cash of $1.8 million. Other Activity During fiscal year 2021, the Company granted 4,000 shares of class A common stock to certain employees at a weighted average fair value of $2.50. No shares were granted in fiscal year 2020. The Company granted 3,300 and 3,600 of class A common stock at a weighted average fair value of $2.68 and $1.61 per share to its non-employee directors in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company granted 50,000 shares of class A common stock at a weighted average fair value of $1.95 per share to a key advisor in fiscal year 2020. No shares were granted to outside parties in fiscal year 2021. All stock grants vest immediately after issuance. Issuances of treasury stock for grants, bonuses, and the share repurchase plan are accounted for using the weighted-average cost basis of the shares issued. During fiscal years 2021 and 2020, shares were issued, as described above, with a weighted-average cost basis greater than current fair value, which resulted in a combined positive (negative) adjustment to additional paid-in capital of approximately $11,000 and ($17,000), respectively. Shareholders of class C shares are allowed to convert to class A. During fiscal year 2021, no shares were converted from class C to class A. During fiscal year 2020, 162 shares were converted from class C to class A. Conversions are one class A share for one class C share and are recorded at par value. There are no restrictions or requirements to convert. Stock Option Plans In November 1989, the Board of Directors adopted the 1989 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (“1989 Plan”), amended in December 1991, which provides for the granting of options to purchase 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Options issued under the 1989 Plan vest six months from the grant date or 20 percent on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. Options issued under the 1989 Plan expire ten years after issuance. There were 231,000 options granted during the year ended June 30, 2021, with a weighted-average grant date fair value price of $3.36 and a vesting period of six months. The fair value is estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions utilized to estimate the fair value of options granted under the 1989 Plan are presented in the following table: Risk-free interest rate 0.9 % Expected volatility 70.0 % Expected life (in years) 5.25 Expected dividend yield 1.0 % The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not have historical post-vesting activity under the 1989 Plan and utilized the simplified method to calculate expected term for stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2021. The simplified method calculates the expected term as mid-point between the weighted-average time to vest and the contractual maturity. The expected dividend yield is based on the date of grant. The estimated fair value of options granted is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. During the year ended June 30, 2021, $43,000 was recognized as compensation expense and $9,000 was recognized as a deferred tax asset. As of June 30, 2021, $733,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options under the Plan were expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.47 years. There were no options forfeited or exercised during the year ended June 30, 2021. There were 231,000 options outstanding under the 1989 Plan as of June 30, 2021, with a weighted-average grant date fair value price of $3.36. Stock option transactions under the 1989 Plan for the past fiscal year are summarized below.

There were no options that were forfeited or exercised during the year ended June 30, 2021.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On June 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company had $7.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, at fair value invested in USGIF funds the Company advised. These amounts were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “investments in equity securities at fair value.” The Company recorded $15,000 and $97,000 in income from dividends and capital gain distributions from USGIF investments in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no net realized gains or losses on its investments in the Funds in fiscal years 2021 or 2020. In addition, the Company had $158,000 at June 30, 2020, invested in a fund advised by Galileo, a related party until March 2020, accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company recorded loss from equity method investments of $142,000 in fiscal year 2020. See further discussion of these investments in Note 4. The Company earned advisory and administrative services fees, as applicable, from the various funds for which it acts as investment adviser, as disclosed in Note 5. Receivables include amounts due from the funds for those fees and out-of-pocket expenses, net of amounts payable to the funds for expense reimbursements. As of June 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company had $2.4 million and $869,000, respectively, of receivables from mutual funds included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “receivables.” The Company has had various investments in HIVE that were valued at approximately $25.1 million and $2.4 million and as of June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. As discussed in Note 4, in January 2021, the Company purchased convertible securities in HIVE, and an unrealized gain was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the convertible debentures, which will be realized in investment income (loss) ratably using the effective interest method until maturity, conversion, or other disposition. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, $1.4 million in principal payments were received, and $1.2 million was included in investment income (loss) as realized gains on principal payment proceeds. On July 1, 2018, the Company reclassified $3.2 million of unrealized gains related to its investment in HIVE from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into Retained Earnings. Therefore, when a HIVE investment was sold during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the amount included in realized gains on sales of fair valued securities was the proceeds of $20.6 million, less the cost of $2.4 million and the ASU 2016-01 reclassified unrealized gains of $3.2 million, or $15.0 million. The Company recorded $368,000 in interest income from HIVE investments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. There was no interest income or net realized gains or losses on its investments in HIVE during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 18. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS The Company continuously reviews all investor, employee, and vendor complaints and pending or threatened litigation. The likelihood that a loss contingency exists is evaluated through consultation with legal counsel, and a loss contingency is recorded if probable and reasonably estimable. During the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to claims, legal proceedings, and other contingencies. These matters are subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably. The Company establishes accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability in excess of these accruals upon the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Board of Directors has authorized a monthly dividend of $0.0050 per share from July 2021 through September 2021, at which time it will be considered for continuation by the Board of Directors. Payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions. The total amount of cash dividends to be paid to class A and class C shareholders from July 2021 to September 2021 will be approximately $226,000. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting actions to control or slow the spread have affected global and domestic economies and financial markets. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19, but at the date of this report cannot determine the full impact this virus may have on the financial markets and economy. Should this emerging macro-economic risk continue for an extended period, there could be an adverse material financial impact to our business and investments, including a material reduction in our results of operations. |

Reclassifications [Text Block] | NOTE 20. IMMATERIAL REVISIONS TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded changes in the fair value of investment securities and sales of short-term investments within “Changes in operating assets and liabilities” on the audited consolidated statement of cash flows instead of within “Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” and “Cash flows from investing activities,” respectively. The line-item “Investment securities” has been removed for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and $2.3 million was reclassified from “Investment securities” to “Unrealized (gains) losses on securities,” and $1.7 million was reclassified from “Investment securities” to “Proceeds on sale of securities at fair value.” These revisions had no impact on net income or earnings per share and were deemed immaterial. |

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation. Until March 2, 2020, the Company, through USCAN, owned 65 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Galileo, which represents controlling interest of Galileo. Galileo was consolidated with USCAN and the non-controlling interest in this subsidiary is included in “non-controlling interest in subsidiary” in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There are two primary consolidation models in U.S. GAAP, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and voting interest entity models. The Company’s evaluation for consolidation includes whether entities in which it has an interest or from which it receives fees are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis. A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lacks certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns and consolidates the VIE on the basis of having a controlling financial interest. The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain funds it advises, specifically, certain funds in USGIF. The Company’s interests in these VIEs consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein and any fees earned but uncollected. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may choose to waive certain fees or assume operating expenses of the funds it advises for competitive, regulatory or contractual reasons (see Note 5 for information regarding fee waivers). The Company has not provided financial support to any of these entities outside the ordinary course of business. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and fees receivable from, the entities. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s total exposure to unconsolidated VIEs, consisting of the carrying value of investment securities and receivables for fees, was $7.3 million at June 30, 2021, and $7.0 million at June 30, 2020. Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the above funds it advises, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of any of the above funds it advises; therefore, the Company does not consolidate any of these funds. The Company currently holds a variable interest in a fund organized as a limited partnership advised by Galileo, but this entity does not qualify as a VIE. Since it is not a VIE, the Company evaluated if it should consolidate it under the voting interest entity model. Under the voting interest model, for legal entities other than partnerships, the usual condition for control is ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares over an entity. The Company does not have control of the entity and, therefore, does not consolidate it. However, the Company was considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence. Thus, the investment has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See further information about this investment in Note 4. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. |

Fixed lease payments are included in right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities within other assets and liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Fixed lease payments made over the lease term are recorded as lease expense on a straight-line basis. Variable lease payments based on usage, changes in an index or market rate are expensed as incurred. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, for existing leases, the Company elected to determine the discount rate based on the remaining lease term as of July 1, 2019. For new leases, the discount rates are based on the entire noncancelable lease term. The Company is the lessor of certain areas of its owned office building under operating leases. The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company elected not to separate lease and related non-lease components and account for the combined component as an operating lease. |

ASU 2019-04 clarifies areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (Topic 326). The standard follows the effective dates of the previously issued ASUs, unless an entity has already early adopted the previous ASUs, in which case the effective date will vary according to each specific ASU adoption. The new guidance in ASU 2019-04 on recognizing and measuring financial instruments will be effective for smaller reporting companies, including U.S. Global, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. If an entity has adopted all of the amendments to ASU 2016-01, it is permitted to early adopt the new guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes |
