Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $90.26 billion as of June 30, 2026, up $8.67 billion from December 31, 2025. Six-month operating cash flow was $64.088 billion, compared with $49.587 billion in the prior-year period, primarily because of higher customer collections and lower cash tax payments. Meta used $50.92 billion for capital expenditures, $8.70 billion for taxes on RSU net settlements, and $2.70 billion for dividends during the six months. An additional $10.80 billion was classified as restricted cash equivalents for infrastructure-agreement escrow requirements and is expected to be released between 2028 and 2030.
