capitalization

Making letters big

Capitalization is the use of uppercase letters, especially at the beginnings of sentences and for proper nouns: The capitalization in her text messages is inconsistent.

In finance, capitalization refers to the total market value of a company's shares or the way a business is funded through debt and equity: The startup's capitalization reached two billion dollars.
