> could in theory be sold today to raise a trillion dollars in cash

Nothing worth a trillion bucks can be sold today. :)

Also, this does include things like property and equipment ($375bn), which I'm guessing are essential for running the business.

That aside, GOOG does hold $265bn in cash and near cash, which is clearly a lot of money.

I don't get why they do these things like debt issuance and stock dilution if they could just spend some of that cash. Like, what else is it for?
