Google Parent Alphabet Just Revealed How Many SpaceX Shares It Owns... and the Figure Is a Doozy

The article says Alphabet’s latest 13F filing revealed the scale of its private-market investments, especially SpaceX. Alphabet reported holding 551,189,500 SpaceX shares worth $94.18 billion at the end of June, making the stake 95% of its portfolio. The piece highlights that Alphabet’s original $900 million SpaceX investment in January 2015 has risen more than 8,000%, underscoring Alphabet’s ability to identify and compound high-conviction investments. It also notes Alphabet’s separate position in Anthropic, estimated to be worth more than $120 billion on less than $13 billion of total investment. Market-wise, the article is not about a direct operating update for Alphabet’s core business, but it reinforces a bullish view of the company’s hidden asset value and long-term capital allocation skill, which can support sentiment around the stock.
