Details

- The company recorded an $80.7B paper loss in the same six months, though approximately $72B of this figure consists of accounting adjustments on convertible notes and financing rather than cash outflows.
- Compute and infrastructure spending reached nearly $9B in six months, exceeding the $7.3B spent in all of 2025, while signed deals for the next ten years total about $450B.
- Major compute commitments include $111B with Google Cloud, $110B with AWS, and $31B with Microsoft, with total potential spend reaching $750B if ongoing negotiations conclude.
- The IPO could value the company at approximately $2 trillion, and about 20% of revenue is attributed to just two customers.
