- The results of the III quarter showed Google’s strong business perspective, especially in the field of mobile search. We offer six products, which are now used by more than 1 billion users in the world.

After the announcement of the financial result, Alphabet aired the first class C shares buyback total of $ 5,099,019 513.59. Why is the exact number?

Google uses a mathematical reference to its financial activities not the first time. For example, during the IPO in 2004, the company decided to place 14,142,135 shares (the square root of 2 ~ equals 1.4142135) on the stock exchange.
Shares of the holding company, reaching $ 741 per security, made the capitalization of the company closer to $ 500 billion, which puts it in second place after Apple in the rating of S&P 500.
It is only a small part of the money, which Alphabet has accumulated on the balance. It should, however, be taken into account that most of the assets of the company is located in offshores as Alphabet does not want to pay taxes in America.
