Sure. SWVXX is a perfectly safe place for cash. You wouldn't really do any better than a HYSA, but probably no worse, either.

I'll second u/Loutro-Fift's idea that CDs or T-bills are perhaps marginally better (depending on what happens to rates).

Gotcha, yes that is the conclusion that i’m coming to as well.

I considered a HYSA but it seemed like SWVXX might’ve been better but I’m not sure what the tax differences are between the two.

Dumping this into a CD account offering ~4.2% over 11 months at my bank is feeling pretty attractive as well.

There's nothing different about the taxes. Taxes are taxes. If you earn interest or dividends by putting this cash into anything, you'll pay taxes on that income.

Great, that’s what I had imagined. Wasn’t sure if there were any nuances dependent on the avenue of income generation.
