If anyone that has hidden cash reserves that could buy out even Apple. It would probably be Valve.

Lol, wacky reality if they say "hey we had spare cash so we bought out Micron to get DDR5 for our gaming systems"

To save my fellow ignorami some math, Valve is estimated to be valued at approximately 3.2% of Micron, or 0.2% of Apple. :)

Valve is worth maybe 0.1% (single digit billions is what I’d guess) of Apple, which made $112B in net income in 2025. That’s profit, not revenue.

Apple could probably buy Valve for 30 days of its net income, which is around $9.3B ($306M per day in profit, including weekends)

There’s zero chance that Gaben has squirreled away Four Trillion Dollars in cash.
