According to @QCompounding, Google’s acquisition of YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion has generated a $160 billion return, with YouTube now contributing over $40 billion per year in ad revenue. This strategic move solidified Google’s dominance in global video and has become a major revenue stream, impacting the valuation of Google’s parent company Alphabet and influencing digital advertising trends. Traders should note that this scale of platform-driven ad revenue growth can impact tech sector sentiment and may influence correlations between large-cap tech stocks and crypto market risk appetite (Source: @QCompounding).
