That's fine. Let's assume that the money is simply stored somewhere as numbers in a database. It would be irresponsible for them not to at least put into some sort of savings account or money market getting interest rate. That interest is generated by people borrowing against it, is it not? Realistically large companies don't do this. They put their money in hedge funds, which are much less risk averse, which would assume that they are more actively putting the money into the economy.
