Business-activity disclosure
DigitalOcean provides cloud infrastructure, managed hosting, databases, networking, GPUs, LLMs and AI-agent services. Cloud infrastructure is generally permissible, but downstream customer use, AI deployment, data handling and financing arrangements require continuing review.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate revenue by downstream customer use, AI model purpose, surveillance, gaming, financial service or other potentially prohibited category.
Purification
DigitalOcean reports net interest income and other income but does not provide a gross interest-income numerator or scholar-approved purification percentage; debt/assets fails independently.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions converted from DigitalOcean's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q, which reports in thousands.
- Debt includes $311.256 million of current debt, $608.466 million of long-term debt and $267.272 million of finance-lease and equipment-financing obligations; operating leases are excluded.
- Cash is $741.363 million and accounts receivable is $105.456 million. No separate interest-bearing securities balance is identified in the filing.
- First-quarter revenue is $257.905 million. Interest income and other income is reported as a net aggregate, so gross interest income is not inferred.
- DigitalOcean describes an AI-native cloud platform spanning IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, GPUs, LLMs and AI agents; end-use and customer activity remain qualitative questions.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
