$81T

Citigroup mistakenly credited a client’s account with $81 trillion when it meant to send only $280, eventually spotting the input error only after two employees had missed it, the Financial Times reported this morning.

While no funds actually left Citi — because a transaction worth 543x Citi’s entire market cap unsurprisingly wouldn’t go through the bank’s systems — and a third employee caught the incorrect payment 90 minutes after it was made last April, the US bank disclosed the “near miss” to the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Still, this marks the 10th near miss worth $1 billion or more that Citi has seen over the past year, according to the FT.

For context, $81 trillion is enough to buy the entire US stock market (~$60 trillion), with enough spare to buy China’s entire stock market (~$16 trillion), if you felt like it. You’d be more than 200x wealthier than Elon Musk, the world’s richest person with a net worth of $353 billion, per Forbes.

You could pay off the national debt ($36.5 trillion), and, if you got hungry afterwards, you’d still have enough leftover to buy yourself and everyone else on Earth 300 pizzas each.

Paramount+ wants to look a lot more like TikTok, leaked documents reveal

Larry Ellison’s Oracle just took a 15% stake in TikTok’s US arm. David Ellison’s Paramount streaming service could soon look a lot more like it.

According to leaked documents seen by Business Insider, Paramount+ is planning a big push into short-form, user-generated video in the vein of the addictive feeds of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Per Business Insider, the documents reveal that short-form videos are a top priority for the streamer in the first quarter of 2026, and executives are working on adding a personalize feed of clips to the mobile app.

The move would follow similar mobile-centric plans from Disney, which earlier this month announced that it would bring vertical video to Disney+ this year, and Netflix, which during its earnings call said it would revamp its mobile app toward vertical video feeds and expand its short-form video features.

Streamers are increasingly competing for user attention with popular apps. YouTube is regularly the most popular streaming service by time spent.
