It's on Square's latest financial statements. Of course ahead of them is the founder of Enix... and a company i'd assume run by the founder of enix absed on the name.
Below them a couple other big holders are trust accounts. Others are banks... though ones still doing fairly well like JP Morgran.
Well and Miyamoto. Who went from having 40% of Square to 7.1% of Square Enix. Probably explains why he kept negotiating for more share equity. He wanted to get rid of his. The orginal offer was like.. .81% and they got it up to like 86% desptie them being the ones who were lobbying Enix who were really shakey on the idea.
Plenty of companies hold stocks in related buisnesses just to collect dividends.
I mean, EA owns some of Ubisofts stock for example. Well before they went on a buyout spree.
