capitalizations
Making letters uppercase
Capitalizations are instances of capitalizing letters or words—making them uppercase.
The term also refers to the total market value of a company's shares: The tech giant's market capitalization exceeded one trillion dollars.
In accounting, capitalization means recording an expense as an asset rather than an immediate cost.
