Five companies (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, and META) are hoarding a combined $517B of cash.

A mere 1.67% of that is equivalent to the $8.5B of total net inflows into the #Bitcoin  ETFs, so far.

What's the advantage of holding that much cash? I l know I'm biased, but I don't get it.

These companies buy regulatory moats to protect their monopolies. Part of the grift is agreeing to hold government debt

to expand for any reader, govt debt as in treasuries which are cash equivalents in corporate accounting (I’m pretty sure)

That's a lot of melting ice cubes!

So early.

Lavish in the house! 🔥 🫡

Yo. Going to try and spend some more time here now that my Nostr is fixed!

As soon as the fed pivot comes, that cash has to go somewhere
