The big bold title conveys what the graph is about clearly.
The chart has extra pointers to read the visualization itself.
The size of the circle depicts the acquisition cost.
All the company names are mentioned along with their logo.
If a company made acquisitions more than once a year then they are connected by a dotted line and their cumulative purchase amount is also mentioned.
Since all the acquisitions are displayed in order of their purchase along with their months, It gives an eagle-eye view of the data. It immediately brings the mind to questions like "Why are most of the acquisitions at the start and end of the year and not the middle of it?".
Cons:
All the circle's vertical distance can be proportional to the difference in acquisition size to give a bar chart-like effect.
For smaller acquisitions, the font can be bigger.
White text on a pink background may not be the best choice, since the text is not visible clearly.
Instructions to read the graph can be in a bigger font.
Since a pink-purple color theme is being followed, by following color theory instead of orange, a yellow-green color would have complemented the graph better.
Since all the values are in Billion, the same could have been mentioned separately, the 'B' for billion could have been removed and then the size of values could been written in a bigger font.
