What is Google?
Google LLC is a US-based search engine company that also provides internet services, online advertising, cloud storage, personal and professional email systems, as well as hardware products. It is the most visited website in the world and one of the ‘Big Five’ companies in the US tech industry.
Google is the largest subsidiary of Alphabet, the conglomerate holding company that was created after a Google restructuring in 2015. This move allowed Google to expand operations outside of its core search and advertising activities, and invest in newer technologies. Google generates 99% of Alphabet’s revenue, of which more than 85% is from online ads.
Incorporated in 1998, Google went public in 2004 through an initial public offering (IPO), and its stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
How to invest in Google stocks: tokenised security method and the traditional online method
Invest in Google stock with tokenised shares
Tokenised shares allow you to invest in Google stock in the form of a digital coin, gaining exposure to Google shares without needing to own the underlying asset. At Dzengi.com, a tokenised security allows an individual to invest in fractional stocks that are backed by digital tokens stored on the blockchain. Crypto-holders are no longer required to convert their cryptocurrencies into fiat money to be able to trade Google or any other shares because tokenised shares can be bought with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ether.
You can speculate on the price movement of Google shares through the tokenised assets available on Dzengi.com and receive real-time updates via an Google price chart available on your computer, iOS or Android device.
Step 1: visit the Dzengi.com trading platform and open an account by completing the two-factor authentication security process.
Step 2: choose how much you want to deposit into your account. It is possible to trade with either crypto or with fiat currency.
Step 3: calculate the value of the position you want to open, or you can calculate the size of the position based on your available capital and the percentage margin. For example, a position of $10,000 would require that you have $500 of available capital when you trade tokenised Google shares 1:20 (5%).
Step 4: positions are opened using the same approach in place at other investment platforms – i.e. taking a long position if a Google stock price increase is anticipated, or shorting if there is an expected decline in the Google share price value.
Step 5: Dzengi.com links the open Google stock trading positions between its clients and all unpaired buy or sell orders that are hedged with Capital.com, LMAX Digital or, if needed, with Binance, Bitstamp, Kraken, NASDAQ, NYSE and Gain Capital.
Step 6: you may also consider placing a take profits order or initiate a stop loss order.

Google stock trading without the blockchain
In order to buy Google stock, it is necessary to find a broker that has or can provide access to NASDAQ, the main exchange that the shares are traded on. This is generally considered a longer-term method of investment because Google stock price valuations fluctuate daily but generally follow a steady price evolution as time progresses.
Step 1: find a suitable online broker
The broker must have access to the exchanges you want to trade on, meaning the broker must hold GOOGL shares that are accessible through NASDAQ. The broker must also be fit for purpose, so it is important to note that not all brokers allow every individual to open an account with them, and where some brokers may charge high fees, others may be free.
Step 2: open a brokerage account
This requires confirmation of your identity and background checks. It is where records of the Google shares will be stored.
Step 3: deposit money to your account
The most common way to deposit money into a personal brokerage account is via bank transfer or using a credit or debit card. At some brokers you make a deposit into your investment account from different electronic wallets, like Paypal.
Step 4: buy Google shares at the Google share price
The last step is to purchase the shares. After logging into your online brokerage account and searching for the Google share, select the number of shares you want to buy, and confirm the transaction, which will then initiate the purchase of shares, also known as executing the buy order.
Step 5: review your position regularly
Follow your investment strategy. If you bought Google shares to hold them for a longer term, you might participate in the company’s annual meetings and may choose to follow the company’s prospects in the news.
