what are these people doing with all these stones they are buying?
They all can't be for upgrades and building.
Is there another use for stones that I'm not aware of?

Yeah, you can go through a lot of them. That's why it always seems so silly when people start suggesting we remove the Raw Material LLC, because they often don't realize how many building materials get bought every day.
I consider myself a mid-level plasyer as assetts go (currently ranked 109) and I go through 10000 stones per day. It's not hard to figure out. Just estimate how much profit a person makes daily and figure out from KapiTools how much they could expand daily for a rough estimate.
I currently make a daily profit of about 5% my fixed assets. If I check kapitools for my level (businessman) I can afford about 80qm of expansion daily (which is about what I do). 80qm daily requires (for a businessman) 11200 stones, 5600 steel, and 1120 wood.
If we make the same estimation for the top players in the game (but I'm sure they do even better than 5%) then they have a profit of more than 500M*0.05 = 25M. For an industrialist, this would allow expansion of about 1100qm daily requiring a total of 209000 stones, 104500 steel, and 20900 wood.
If we take the average size of a top 100 company, it would currently be about 76M and a 5% profit would be 3.8M. As a Manager, this average player would be able to afford about 185qm daily expansion and require pretty close to 30,000 stones daily. So you might estimate that the top 100 players in total are consuming in the neighborhood of 3 million stones a day at this point in the game, and that will of course grow with time.
So, just how many stones do you think are being bought up that makes you think they must be used for something other than expansion

PS: I know that was way too far, but I'm known for overanalyzing trivial matters.
