#### Google is quietly turning into a giant investment portfolio.

Over the past two decades, Alphabet $GOOGL has made billions of dollars in private investments — and some of those bets are now reaching the public markets. 🚀 SpaceX $SPCX now represents roughly 95% of Google’s publicly traded investment portfolio. And there could be another major addition soon. 🤖 Anthropic, one of Google’s biggest private AI bets, is expected to go public in the coming months. Alphabet owns a significant stake in the company, potentially unlocking another substantial source of value. Google is therefore becoming more than just Search, YouTube, Cloud and AI. Its portfolio of early-stage investments could increasingly become a meaningful part of the Alphabet story. Is Google slowly becoming a hedge fund with a technology business attached?
