Cruise speed...

For the Global 5000 and XRS the speeds are as follows...

Keep in mind that maximum TAS and Mach vary with altitude/temperature and the higher you go the lower the MMO will be.

VMO (SL - 8000') = 300 KIAS

VMO (8000' - 30,267') = 340 KIAS

MMO (30,267' - 35,000') = 0.89M

MMO (41,400') = 0.88M

MMO (47,000') = 0.858M

MMO (51,000') = 0.842M

Normal cruise speed is 0.85M and we use for long range cruise speed when heavy 0.82M.

If you really want to go fast and fly as close to the VMO/MMO you would fly the Global between 30,000' and 41,000'.
