$META $ORCL $AMZN $MSFT $GOOG A Nikkei investigation found that Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle have
$1.65 trillion in debt that doesn't appear on their balance sheets, more than the
$1.35 trillion they officially report.
These are GPU contracts, data center leases, and joint ventures that don't count as debt under accounting rules until the facilities go live. Meta's hidden debt is
$420 billion, triple its reported debt. Oracle's grew 30-fold in four years. All five declined to comment.
