Matthew Panzarino for TNW:
Apple today filed its Form 10-K with the SEC that discloses information to stockholders and the commission. In an amongst the normal legal statements there were a few interesting facts. Among those were that Apple currently has $81,570,000,000 in cash, marketable securities and cash equivalents.
The filing also noted Apple now has 60 thousand employees.
No matter how you twist and turn it, Apple is huge.
Horace Dediu mentioned that Apple’s cash reserves are bound in countries all around the world, but it’s still a lot of money for any number of investments, purchases and supply contracts.
