Alphabet Inc. large holders GOOGL

Holders of more than 5% of its shares, from Schedule 13D and 13G filings. All large-holder filings on sec.gov

This list is built from 7 structured filings (Feb 18, 2025 to Apr 29, 2026). Structured (XML) filing became mandatory in December 2024, and 6 older filings are plain documents that are not read here. A holder whose latest report is one of those does not appear, so this can be an incomplete list of the company's large holders.

Reported 5% or less (2)

These holders' latest report says they no longer hold more than 5%. The report does not say why: a manager can also have moved its shares to a related entity (large fund groups have done this), so nothing here says what became of the shares.

Filing

Reading the filing from sec.gov...

About Schedules 13D and 13G. Anyone who holds more than 5% of a listed company's shares must report it. Most report on Schedule 13G: passive holders, mostly investment managers, who update it once a quarter at most. A holder that may want to influence the company files a Schedule 13D instead. The filings can lag the real holdings by weeks or months, and a stake is only reported while it is above 5%. This is public information, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
