Capital Research Global's $542B Filing: Netflix +800%, Applied Materials Doubled, and a $1B Bitcoin Proxy Bet

Capital Research Global Investors filed the second Capital Group 13F with a massive Netflix build. Shares surged 800% in Q4, turning a modest position into a $4B holding. Its sister division did +710% the same quarter.

Cross-Divisional Signal

When two independently-managed divisions of the same firm make nearly identical multi-billion-dollar moves simultaneously, that’s organizational-level conviction.

Key Moves

Position Change Value
Netflix (NFLX) +800% shares → $4B
Applied Materials (AMAT) Doubled → $8.4B
Eli Lilly (LLY) Existing $26B
MicroStrategy (MSTR) New $1B

The MicroStrategy position is notable — $1B from a traditional equity fund into a Bitcoin proxy signals crypto exposure becoming institutionally acceptable.
