overcapitalizes

Invests too much

Overcapitalizes means to supply a business with more capital than it can profitably employ, leaving excess funds idle or poorly invested: The startup overcapitalizes and burns through cash on unnecessary hires.

In writing, overcapitalizes means using capital letters excessively or incorrectly—capitalizing words that standard usage leaves lowercase: The memo overcapitalizes every department name.
