Citadel gross trading profit totalled $28bn last year,
60B is a balance at a specific date 12/31/2022, they trim the balance by the EOY and harvest losses.
the average balance is much bigger and fluctuates heavily given market demand.
UPD: I stand corrected, the market making arm only made meager $5,000,000,000 for the 6 months, so more like 10,000,000,000/year, not 28
