Major Shareholders
Meta Platforms, Inc.
Major Shareholders
| Name | Type | Ownership | Voting | As of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mark Zuckerberg Founder, chair and CEO. Economic stake of ~13.6% of Meta’s outstanding shares, but controls roughly 58% of total voting power through super‑voting Class B shares held personally and via entities such as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Estimates based on Meta’s recent SEC filings and 2025 analyses of its dual‑class structure. | Founder | 13.6% | 58.0% | Sep 2025 |
Vanguard Group Inc. Largest institutional shareholder. Holds approximately 192.6 million META shares, or about 8.9% of the company’s equity, largely via index and mutual funds. Voting power is lower than economic ownership because most super‑voting Class B shares are held by insiders. Stake based on 13F data summarized by Capital.com and Nasdaq institutional‑holdings tables as of mid‑ to late‑2025. | Institutional | 8.9% | 3.0% | Sep 2025 |
BlackRock, Inc. Second‑largest institutional holder. Owns roughly 166.3 million META shares, or ~7.7% of equity, through ETFs and other funds. Voting percentage reflects primarily Class A holdings; Class B super‑voting shares remain concentrated with insiders. Figures from September 23, 2025 ownership summaries and 13F filings. | Institutional | 7.7% | 2.6% | Sep 2025 |
FMR LLC (Fidelity Investments) Major active manager and index‑fund provider. Holds about 135.9 million META shares, or ~6.2% of outstanding equity, across various Fidelity funds. Voting power is diluted relative to economic stake due to Meta’s dual‑class capital structure. Ownership based on Yahoo Finance/Capital.com summary of institutional stakes and 2025 13F data. | Institutional | 6.2% | 2.1% | Sep 2025 |
State Street Corporation Large index‑fund manager (including SPDR ETFs). Owns roughly 86.9 million META shares, or about 4.0% of equity. Like other institutions, primarily holds single‑vote Class A shares, so its voting influence is below its economic stake. Percentages based on institutional‑holder rankings from Capital.com and Nasdaq as of mid‑ to late‑2025. | Institutional | 4.0% | 1.5% | Sep 2025 |
