Google Cloud Secures $58B Revenue Pipeline, Bolstering Alphabet’s Growth Strategy
Alphabet's Google Cloud division has locked in a $58 billion revenue pipeline over the next two years, disclosed at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference. The cloud unit now holds a $106 billion contract backlog, with CEO Thomas Kurian projecting 55% conversion to recognized revenue. This surge comes as Google diversifies beyond its core advertising business amid regulatory pressures.
Google Cloud crossed a $50 billion annual run rate earlier this year, establishing itself as Alphabet's fastest-growing division. The unit reported 28% quarterly growth in new customers, demonstrating accelerating enterprise adoption. While the announcement focuses on traditional cloud infrastructure, the growth trajectory mirrors broader tech sector momentum that often correlates with cryptocurrency market movements.
