    Organizations and connections

    Affiliations retain their dates and sources. Roles may be historical; a missing end date does not establish a current role. Machine classifications need review; a co-mention alone does not establish a relationship.

      Source context: The round total is shared across investor records, not the contribution of each firm. The company says this round includes a portion of previously announced investments from this investor; no individual amount is assigned.

      The round total covers all investors. Individual contributions are recorded separately when disclosed.

      Source context: The $122 billion is the closed round’s committed capital, not a claim that all cash was paid on the announcement date. It supersedes the initial $110 billion announced in February, within the same financing event.

      The round total covers all investors. Individual contributions are recorded separately when disclosed.
