Broadcom Inc.
No equity stake in another company appears in Broadcom Inc.'s filings. That is the sourced answer, not a hole in the research.

The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 4,598 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
4,598 managers reported a position, together holding 3.59bn shares, or 75.4% of the company. The 40 largest are listed.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What the filings say against what the research found
Every holding above was also resolved directly from EDGAR through a precedence rule: the company's own filing outranks a 13D or 13G, which outranks a 13F, which outranks hand research. A 13F reports only US listed, long, US custodied positions, so it is a floor rather than a level. Where sources disagree the higher one leads and the lower is kept beside it.
No position here shows a material gap between sources.

What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- Broadcom does not file Form 13F. Its complete EDGAR filing history (submissions JSON, checked 16 August 2026) contains no 13F-HR of any vintage, which is consistent with it not acting as an institutional investment manager.
- Broadcom's holdings list is empty and that is the sourced finding, not a gap. The FY2025 Form 10-K (period ended 2 November 2025, filed 18 December 2025) and the Q2 FY2026 Form 10-Q (period ended 3 May 2026, filed 9 June 2026) were both fetched and searched in full: neither contains the phrases 'equity investment', 'non-marketable', 'measurement alternative', 'equity method' or any equity-investments line on the balance sheet. Broadcom's growth model is outright acquisition, not minority stakes.
- The only investment activity on the face of the statements is in investing cash flow: purchases of investments of $137 million and sales of investments of $283 million for the two fiscal quarters ended 3 May 2026 ($597 million and $248 million respectively for fiscal 2025). These are not broken out by counterparty and are immaterial against $179,158 million of total assets. They are not treated here as strategic holdings.
- VMware is a wholly owned operating subsidiary, acquired 22 November 2023 for $79,648 million of net assets acquired including $54,206 million of goodwill and $45,572 million of intangibles per the FY2025 10-K purchase price allocation. Wholly owned subsidiaries are excluded from holdings by the brief.
- OpenAI, the largest of Broadcom's 2025 and 2026 AI custom-silicon partnerships (10 gigawatts of custom accelerators plus Broadcom Ethernet networking, announced 13 October 2025; first chip 'Jalapeno' revealed 24 June 2026), carries no equity component. Reporting on the announcement states plainly that 'no equity is exchanging hands as with the prior deals', in contrast to Nvidia's investment into OpenAI and OpenAI's warrant over AMD stock.

- On 9 June 2026 Broadcom announced the AI XPV Platform with Apollo and Blackstone's Credit and Insurance business, with an initial $35 billion capital solution led by Apollo, supporting more than 20 gigawatts of AI deployments and funding Anthropic's 1+ gigawatt capacity expansion. The press release names Apollo and Blackstone as the initial anchor investors and does not state any Broadcom equity or ownership interest in the platform entity, so no holding is recorded.

- Broadcom has a single class of common stock, $0.001 par value, one vote per share. There is no dual-class structure and no founder control block: co-founder Henry Samueli's 85.6 million shares are 1.8 percent of the company with no enhanced voting rights.
- Vanguard disagreement, recorded rather than resolved. The register uses Vanguard's own Form 13F-HR for the quarter ended 31 December 2025: 482,707,302 shares. Broadcom's 2 March 2026 proxy reports Vanguard at 468,544,898 shares and 9.9 percent as of 24 February 2026, but that figure is sourced to a Schedule 13G/A Vanguard filed on 4 October 2024 and is therefore older data than the 13F. Vanguard filed Form 13F-NT (notice) rather than 13F-HR for the quarters ended 31 March 2026 and 30 June 2026, meaning its holdings for those periods are reported by other Vanguard reporting managers, so no 30 June 2026 Vanguard figure is available under CIK 0000102909.
- BlackRock disagreement, recorded rather than resolved. The register uses BlackRock, Inc.'s Form 13F-HR for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 filed under CIK 0002012383: 398,286,326 shares. Broadcom's proxy reports BlackRock at 347,023,720 shares and 7.3 percent as of 24 February 2026, but that figure is sourced to a Schedule 13G/A filed 26 January 2024 and is two years stale. BlackRock's 13F filer entity changed: the old CIK 0001364742 was renamed BlackRock Finance, Inc. and stopped filing after the quarter ended 30 June 2024.
- All 30 June 2026 13F values are the managers' own reported market values at that date. BlackRock's row implies a price of $377.75 per share on 30 June 2026, which is the consistent quarter-end mark across the 13F rows here.
- Percentages are computed by this research against a stated share count, not taken from a filing. The 30 June 2026 13F rows use 4,757,580,198 shares outstanding as of 29 May 2026 (Q2 FY2026 10-Q cover). The Vanguard row uses 4,741,273,799 as of 28 November 2025 (FY2025 10-K cover). The insider rows use 4,735,602,612 as of 24 February 2026, the denominator the proxy itself uses.
- The market capitalisation of $1.87 trillion is the rounded figure published on the source page as of 14 August 2026. It is precise to three significant figures only. Cross-check: 4,757,580,198 shares at $393 per share implies roughly $1.87 trillion.
- Insider rows overlap. The 'all 13 current directors and executive officers as a group' row of 89,467,014 shares (1.9 percent) contains the individually listed insiders and must not be added to them.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- Whether Broadcom holds any equity or ownership interest in the AI XPV Platform entity announced 9 June 2026. Looked in the Apollo press release for the transaction, which names only Apollo and Blackstone's Credit and Insurance business as anchor investors and is silent on Broadcom's interest. The structure post-dates the Q2 FY2026 10-Q (period ended 3 May 2026), so it is not yet in any Broadcom financial statement.
- Broadcom's Q3 FY2026 10-Q, covering the quarter ending on or about 2 August 2026, was not yet filed as of 16 August 2026 (checked against the EDGAR submissions feed for CIK 0001730168). Any equity position taken during that quarter would not yet be visible.
- The counterparties behind 'Purchases of investments' ($137 million, six months to 3 May 2026) and 'Sales of investments' ($283 million). The cash flow statement gives no breakdown and there is no supporting note in either the 10-Q or the 10-K.
- No Schedule 13G or 13G/A has been filed on Broadcom common stock by any holder since 13 November 2024, per the EDGAR filing index for CIK 0001730168. That removes the usual independent cross-check on Vanguard's and BlackRock's positions and is why the 13F route was used instead.
- Norges Bank (Norway's sovereign wealth fund) holds Broadcom through its global index mandate but does not file Form 13F, so no share count could be sourced. Checked CIK 0001262168, which has no 13F-HR filings.
- Capital Research / Capital Group and T. Rowe Price positions could not be sourced. The CIKs checked (0001006415, 0001472150, 0001113169) return no 13F-HR filings, and the correct current filer CIKs were not identified within the time budget.
- Any Broadcom stake held in private AI or semiconductor companies alongside its custom-silicon programmes. Searched the 10-K and 10-Q full text and news coverage of the OpenAI, Google and Anthropic-linked programmes; nothing sized or confirmed was found.
