Meta Platforms, Inc. has disclosed that its Chief Financial Officer, Susan J. Li donated 33,583 shares of Class A common stock to the Li-Hegeman Family Foundation. Meanwhile, according to a separate report attributed to Reuters, Meta is in talks to ramp up its capital spending by “billions” of dollars as it addresses regulatory and competitive pressures.
In the filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 24, 2025, Li made the transfer via the Li-Hegeman Living Trust. She retains voting power over the shares held by the foundation but does not retain any pecuniary interest – meaning she will not personally profit from future appreciation or dividends.
Separately, Reuters reports that Meta is considering major investment commitments spanning hardware, infrastructure and artificial intelligence initiatives as part of an effort to maintain its scale and innovation edge in a fiercely competitive market. These efforts are seen as part of a broader strategy to counter regulatory scrutiny and to match initiatives by other tech giants.
From a governance standpoint, the donation updates insider ownership disclosures and underscores Meta’s spotlight on executive alignment and corporate transparency. From a strategic standpoint, the reported increased spending signals Meta’s willingness to deploy substantial resources despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
Meta Platforms is a global technology company headquartered in Menlo Park, California. It operates flagship social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The company went public in 2012 and generates the bulk of its revenue through digital advertising, supported by growth in hardware sales and platform-services.
