How we checked this
Checked on October 16, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article says CoreWeave is chasing insurer capital. McBee said investment-grade ratings would make insurer borrowing possible. The article does not state that the company is actually seeking those ratings.
Confirmed in the source:
- CoreWeave is pursuing insurers' capital to fund its build-out, as reported by the Financial Times
- Brannin McBee said investment-grade ratings on more of CoreWeave's chip-backed debt would let it borrow from insurers
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- CoreWeave is actively seeking investment-grade ratings on more of its chip-backed debt
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.
