How we checked this
Checked on October 13, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The CFO's quote confirms the $40 billion of borrowable backlog, but linking it to funding expansion is the article author's framing rather than something the CFO is quoted as saying.
Confirmed in the source:
- Nebius CFO Dado Alonso said on the second-quarter earnings call in August that the company has approximately $40 billion of committed backlog it can borrow against
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the CFO said the borrowing capacity is to fund expansion (this purpose is the article author's interpretation, not part of the CFO's quoted statement)
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.
