Can you explain this further?

For example, if the market cap is $6B and has been for years, how is that reducing?

A bank account (or a spread of bank accounts across different banks to stay under the FDIC insurance limit per-account) is way, way, way safer than a flat market cap publicly traded company -- and with the same or perhaps better rate of return. Stocks are "supposed" to give better rates of return than "flat", in exchange for the higher risk.

I think they're saying that inflation means the $6B is reducing in buying power.
