Which company is the parent organization of Google and YouTube?

Alphabet is the parent organization of Google and YouTube.

Alphabet was created in 2015 through a corporate restructuring that made Google a subsidiary while placing other businesses and projects under the wider holding company. Google remains Alphabet’s largest and best-known business, with search, advertising, Android, Chrome, and cloud operations.

YouTube is owned by Google, so it is indirectly owned by Alphabet. This corporate structure is why market-cap tables usually list Alphabet rather than Google as the publicly traded company.

Alphabet’s market capitalization is driven heavily by digital advertising, but its businesses also include Google Cloud, subscription services, hardware, and long-term research projects. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998, and Alphabet was formed while they remained deeply involved in the company’s leadership.
