cash hoard

Hidden currency reserve

A cash hoard is a large sum of money kept in reserve rather than spent or invested.

The term often carries connotations of excessive accumulation—dragons sit on hoards, and corporations face criticism for hoarding cash instead of paying workers or investing in growth: Tech giants are sitting on unprecedented cash hoards.

Unlike savings, a hoard suggests money kept beyond practical need.
