How we checked this
Checked on September 27, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article ties the 50% to 60% prepayment coverage to the four landmark Q2 deals only, not to all of Nebius's customer deals.
Confirmed in the source:
- For Nebius's four landmark Q2 deals, 50% to 60% of associated capex was covered by upfront customer prepayments
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- 50% to 60% of capex across Nebius's customer deals generally is covered by upfront prepayments
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
