How we checked this
Checked on September 19, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The document supports the $1.8 billion amount and 8% equity stake, but describes it specifically as a 'backstop' rather than an 'investment,' which are not the same financial arrangement.
Confirmed in the source:
- Google is providing $1.8 billion in exchange for an 8% equity stake
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The $1.8 billion is characterized as an investment rather than a backstop
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.
What we did: Read our cached copy of the publisher (https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/bitcoin-miners-face-50b-funding-gap-ai-vaneck/cZK0tjyR7I0) in full (6,951 characters, retrieved August 31, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
