Target: Bloomberg L.P. and relevant group entities Research date: 22 October 2026 Domain: Digital technology, information infrastructure, technology investment and data processing Evidence period: Historical records through October 2026

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Bloomberg’s enterprise technology infrastructure

Publicly available data-centre records identify Bloomberg facilities in New Jersey and New York, in the northeastern United States.¹

No public evidence identified in the replacement source establishing that all Bloomberg data centres operate on separate power and telecommunications grids.

Bloomberg’s public technology organisation maintains open-source software repositories and describes its engineering focus as high-availability, low-latency and large-scale computing.²

Cloud technology relationships

In December 2021, Bloomberg announced that customers could receive Data License content through Amazon Web Services, building on its existing B-PIPE real-time market-data cloud offering.³

In March 2022, Bloomberg and Google Cloud announced cloud-native access to B-PIPE, enabling financial institutions to ingest Bloomberg’s market data for trading, execution, risk management and other financial applications.⁴

In October 2022, Bloomberg expanded its Google Cloud relationship to deliver Data License datasets, including reference, pricing, regulatory, research, corporate-action and ESG information.⁵

In April 2023, Bloomberg announced delivery of B-PIPE and Data License content through Microsoft Azure, including private Azure Virtual Network connectivity for financial-institution customers.⁶

In November 2023, Bloomberg announced integration of Data License Plus with Google BigQuery, allowing mutual customers to combine Bloomberg data with cloud-based analytical workloads.⁷

Bloomberg’s published cloud market-data documentation describes delivery of its real-time market-data feed to internal customer applications, third-party systems and proprietary trading or analytical environments.⁸

These documented relationships establish enterprise data-delivery integrations with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud; the cited announcements do not identify a Bloomberg contract with the Israeli government or an Israeli military organisation.^{3, 4, 6}

Israeli-origin enterprise software procurement

No public evidence identified of a verified Bloomberg enterprise licence, subscription or deployment involving Check Point, Wiz, CyberArk, SentinelOne, NICE, Verint, Claroty, Palo Alto Networks or comparable Israeli-origin security vendors.

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg’s internal enterprise infrastructure depends on Israeli-origin cybersecurity, analytics or communications technology.

Systems integrators and outsourcing

No public evidence identified in an independently retrievable replacement source confirming Bloomberg’s previously reported statement that it does not subcontract the provision of its ICT services or permit third-party resale of those services.

No public evidence identified establishing that a Bloomberg systems integrator deployed Israeli-origin technology as part of a Bloomberg enterprise programme.

Technology investment versus procurement

Bloomberg Beta’s public operating manual identifies Bloomberg L.P. as the venture firm’s financial backer and explains that Bloomberg Beta selects investments independently for financial return.⁹

Bloomberg Beta’s public portfolio identifies investments involving Intuition Robotics, Stampli and several other software companies; the portfolio does not establish that Bloomberg L.P. uses those companies’ products internally.¹⁰

Israeli government financial-technology procurement - 2005–2006

On 13 July 2005, Globes reported that Bloomberg had been selected to provide the primary-market auction system for Israeli government shekel bonds.¹¹

The contemporaneous report described a system through which dealers could submit bids on Bloomberg Professional terminals, with automated allocation calculations and electronic transmission of auction results.¹¹

The Bank of Israel’s Annual Report 2006 confirms that the pre-existing Shva auction system was replaced in June 2006 by an international system developed by Bloomberg, while responsibility for managing government-bond auctions transferred to the Ministry of Finance.¹²

A Bank of Israel research paper published in September 2011 identifies July 2006 as the beginning of government-bond issuance managed by the Ministry of Finance through Bloomberg’s tenders system.¹³

These official records establish actual implementation and use of Bloomberg auction technology for Israeli sovereign-debt issuance during 2006.^{12, 13}

Nature of the technology provision

The Bloomberg platform supported primary-market government-bond auctions, including submission of dealer bids and automated allocation procedures.^{11, 12}

The technology was incorporated into the government-debt issuance process administered by Israel’s Ministry of Finance.^{12, 13}

The 2006 reforms also introduced MTS as a separate interdealer trading platform; the Bank of Israel distinguishes this secondary-market system from Bloomberg’s government-bond auction infrastructure.¹²

The documented application was financial-market infrastructure for sovereign-debt issuance.^{12, 14}

No public evidence identified establishing the value of the Bloomberg contract, the relevant licensing arrangements or the identity of the Bloomberg legal entity receiving payments.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Facial recognition and biometric identification

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg deploying Israeli-origin facial-recognition, biometric identification, gait analysis or retail-surveillance technology from Trigo, BriefCam, AnyVision/Oosto, Trax or comparable suppliers.

Commercial conversation analytics

Bloomberg Beta’s historical portfolio identifies a company called GONG!, associated with founders Itzik Ben-Bassat and Aviv Eyal.¹⁰

Separately, a July 2017 announcement by Gong.io describes an AI-based conversation-intelligence platform founded by Amit Bendov and Eilon Reshef, with operations in San Mateo and Tel Aviv.¹⁵

An April 2018 Calcalist report describes Gong.io as an Israeli company whose software analyses recorded business conversations and identifies keywords and discussion topics.¹⁶

The available Bloomberg Beta and Gong.io primary disclosures identify different founder teams; they do not establish that the investment portfolio entry refers to the same legal entity as the Gong.io revenue-intelligence business.^{10, 15}

The Gong.io evidence is historical [pre-2020]; no public evidence identified confirming Bloomberg’s procurement or deployment of Gong.io for employee, customer or communications monitoring.

Predictive policing and workforce surveillance

No public evidence identified establishing Bloomberg’s use of Israeli-origin predictive-policing platforms, intelligence-monitoring services, workforce-surveillance systems or state-linked behavioural analytics.

Third-party deployments

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg receives Israeli-origin surveillance or biometric capabilities indirectly through managed security providers or bundled enterprise platforms.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Bloomberg-controlled data centres

Publicly available facility and permit records identify Bloomberg data-centre locations in New Jersey and New York, in the northeastern United States.¹

The cited facility records do not identify an Israeli Bloomberg data-centre location.¹

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg directly operating, leasing or co-locating a dedicated data centre in Israel.

Cloud data delivery

Bloomberg’s market-data documentation describes delivery of normalized market data through cloud infrastructure and identifies its B-PIPE service as supporting approximately 35 million instruments across more than 330 exchanges and 5,000 contributors.¹⁷

Its AWS announcement describes cloud-native delivery of Bloomberg datasets to customer workloads, including securities reference data, pricing information and regulatory information.³

Its Azure announcement describes customer access through private cloud-network connectivity and identifies historical, pricing, regulatory and corporate-action datasets as available through the service.⁶

Its Google Cloud and BigQuery announcements establish that Bloomberg enterprise datasets can be incorporated into customer-controlled cloud analytical environments.^{5, 7}

These documents describe cloud delivery to customers but do not identify the physical location of every downstream customer processing environment.^{3, 5, 6, 7}

Data-exposure investigation

Bloomberg’s B-PIPE documentation confirms that it collects, normalizes and redistributes market information for use in internal systems, external applications and automated analytical environments.¹⁸

BloombergGPT’s published research documents large-scale financial-data processing for machine-learning model development.¹⁹

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg’s own personal-data processing, user communications, behavioural profiling or model-training infrastructure is located within Israeli jurisdiction.

No public evidence identified establishing Israeli state access to Bloomberg-controlled personal-data repositories or customer communications databases.

The available cloud announcements do not establish whether particular customers independently select Israeli cloud regions for downstream processing.^{3, 5, 6}

Israeli sovereign-debt auction processing

The Bank of Israel confirms that Israel’s Ministry of Finance adopted Bloomberg’s international auction system in 2006 to conduct government-bond issuance.¹²

The Bloomberg auction process enabled government-authorised dealers to submit bids electronically and supported allocation of government bonds.^{11, 12}

A September 2012 BofA Merrill Lynch research guide confirms that Israeli government-bond auctions were conducted through the Bloomberg auction system, with competitive multi-price and noncompetitive bidding.¹⁴

These records establish government financial-transaction processing through Bloomberg technology but do not identify the geographical location of the underlying application servers, database infrastructure or retained transaction records.^{11, 12, 14}

No public evidence identified establishing whether Bloomberg stored Israeli government auction transaction data in Israel, the United States or another jurisdiction.

No public evidence identified establishing the contractual retention periods or government-access arrangements for historical auction data.

Project Nimbus and Israeli government cloud programmes

No public evidence identified establishing Bloomberg as a direct contractor, subcontractor, systems integrator or named technology supplier under Project Nimbus.

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg providing a sovereign-cloud or state-data-residency service specifically contracted to an Israeli government or defence institution.

Duration of the Israeli auction technology relationship

The Bloomberg auction system was implemented in June 2006 and used for Ministry of Finance bond issuance beginning in July 2006.^{12, 13}

A September 2012 BofA Merrill Lynch research guide identifies Bloomberg’s auction system as the platform used for Israeli government-bond auctions.¹⁴

The publicly documented relationship therefore extends beyond initial implementation, although the cited 2012 research does not independently establish the system’s operational status after September 2012.¹⁴

A separate 2023 government-bond technology demonstration involved electronic bidding through Bloomberg terminals.²⁰

No public evidence identified conclusively establishing that the original Bloomberg AUPD auction system remained operational during October 2026.

No public evidence identified of a formal termination notice, replacement-platform award or decommissioning record for the original Bloomberg government-bond auction system.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Israeli defence and intelligence contracts

No public evidence identified of a verified contract between Bloomberg and the Israeli Ministry of Defence, Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet, Mossad or another Israeli national-security organisation for software, cloud infrastructure, data analytics or communications services.

Documented non-Israeli defence-sector procurement

A 2026 US Department of Defense procurement notice for the National Defense University describes a proposed purchase of three Bloomberg Terminal Anywhere licences for the Eisenhower School’s graduate-level financial, economic and national-security education, with an intended base period beginning in September 2026.²¹

A separate June 2026 National Defense University procurement record describes requirements for Bloomberg financial research terminals covering global market data, economic research, analytics and scenario-analysis capabilities.²²

The cited procurement records identify educational and financial-research purposes within a US defence institution; they do not identify an Israeli military customer.^{21, 22}

Israeli Ministry of Finance technology provision

The Bank of Israel’s official 2006 annual report establishes that Bloomberg technology was incorporated into the Israeli government’s primary-market bond issuance infrastructure.¹²

A September 2012 BofA Merrill Lynch research guide identifies the Bloomberg auction system as the platform used by Israel’s Ministry of Finance for government-bond auctions.¹⁴

These records identify a civilian government financial-management application and do not establish deployment by an Israeli military or intelligence agency.^{12, 14}

Dual-use financial technology

Bloomberg’s real-time market-data services provide data to internal, external and automated analytical applications used by financial organisations.¹⁸

No public evidence identified establishing that Bloomberg financial-data services have been specifically integrated into Israeli military operational surveillance or intelligence-analysis systems.

Defence-technology investment

Bloomberg Beta’s historical investment portfolio names Shield AI and founders Ryan Tseng, Andrew Reiter and Brandon Tseng.¹⁰

The portfolio entry establishes a disclosed venture investment in Shield AI, but provides no verified Bloomberg-specific Israeli military contract or technology deployment.¹⁰

No public evidence identified establishing Israeli military use of Shield AI technology attributable to Bloomberg’s investment.

Offensive cyber and weapons-related software

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg developing, selling or licensing offensive cyber capabilities, zero-day exploitation products or software designed primarily to generate military targets for Israeli state actors.

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg supplying software purpose-built for kinetic targeting, fire-control automation or weapons engagement to Israeli armed forces.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

BloombergGPT

In March 2023, Bloomberg researchers published BloombergGPT, a 50-billion-parameter language model developed for financial natural-language-processing applications.¹⁹

The research paper describes a training dataset containing approximately 363 billion financial-domain tokens and 345 billion tokens from general-purpose datasets.¹⁹

The reported applications include financial question answering, sentiment analysis, named-entity recognition and related language-processing tasks.¹⁹

The cited research does not identify training on Israeli military surveillance datasets or deployment for Israeli military target identification.¹⁹

AI and robotics investments

Bloomberg Beta invested in Israeli robotics company Intuition Robotics during its early financing period, according to a July 2017 company announcement identifying Bloomberg Beta among the company’s existing seed investors.²³

Intuition Robotics developed ElliQ, an AI-enabled social companion robot intended to assist older adults with communication, daily engagement and other non-military activities.²³

A February 2020 report identified Bloomberg Beta among investors in Intuition Robotics’ $36 million Series B financing.²⁴

The initial investment relationship dates to before 2020 [pre-2020], while the 2020 funding report provides a subsequent dated confirmation; continued Bloomberg Beta ownership in October 2026 was not established.^{23, 24}

AI-related data exposure

BloombergGPT’s publication establishes the use of extensive financial datasets for model development, but does not establish that its training material included civilian surveillance data from Israel or the occupied Palestinian territory.¹⁹

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg providing AI models trained on intercepted Palestinian communications, biometric surveillance records or military intelligence datasets.

AI systems supplied to Israeli state institutions

No public evidence identified establishing provision by Bloomberg of machine-learning, computer-vision, autonomous decision-support or predictive-analytics systems to Israeli military, intelligence or police bodies.

Autonomous systems and military lethality

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg supplying autonomous target-generation, fire-control or military object-tracking systems to Israeli armed forces.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Bloomberg Beta investment structure

Bloomberg Beta’s public GitHub repository identifies the firm as an investor backed by Bloomberg L.P. and states that its investment decisions are made independently of Bloomberg’s commercial product relationships.⁹

Its portfolio disclosure lists publicly announced investments by investment fund and identifies the relevant startup founders.¹⁰

Bloomberg Beta’s public GitHub organisation continued to host its investment documents and operating manual in 2026.²⁵

Stampli

Bloomberg Beta’s portfolio includes Stampli, founded by Eyal Feldman and Ofer Feldman.¹⁰

Stampli’s corporate website independently identifies Bloomberg Beta among its investors and describes the company’s procurement, accounts-payable, vendor-management and payments software.²⁶

These sources establish a disclosed investment relationship, but do not establish Bloomberg’s use of Stampli as an internal enterprise platform.^{10, 26}

The original investment period is historical; Stampli’s investor disclosure remained publicly available during the 2026 research period.²⁶

Intuition Robotics

A July 2017 company announcement identified Bloomberg Beta as an existing investor in Israeli startup Intuition Robotics, which developed the ElliQ social-assistance robot.²³

The company subsequently announced a $36 million Series B financing in February 2020, with Bloomberg Beta identified among participating investors.²⁴

The initial relationship is [pre-2020]; the precise continuing ownership position as of October 2026 remains unverified.^{23, 24}

Gong-related investment

Bloomberg Beta’s portfolio names GONG!, associated with Itzik Ben-Bassat and Aviv Eyal.¹⁰

Gong.io’s own 2017 funding announcement identifies different founders, Amit Bendov and Eilon Reshef, and describes Tel Aviv operations.¹⁵

No public evidence identified conclusively reconciling these records as an investment in the same company.

Shield AI

Bloomberg Beta’s published historical portfolio identifies Shield AI as an investment involving Ryan Tseng, Andrew Reiter and Brandon Tseng.¹⁰

No public evidence identified establishing that the investment financed a specific Israeli defence contract or Israeli military deployment.

Investment activity during 2026

A publicly available venture-investment database profile recorded Bloomberg Beta transactions extending into September 2026, including technology-company financing activity.²⁷

That database establishes reported continuing venture activity; it does not establish continued ownership of each historical Israeli-origin portfolio company.²⁷

Israeli engineering and research facilities

No public evidence identified confirming a Bloomberg-owned engineering research laboratory, cloud-development centre or dedicated technology R&D facility in Israel.

No public evidence identified establishing the size or functions of an Israeli Bloomberg engineering workforce during October 2026.

Acquisitions

No public evidence identified of a verified Bloomberg acquisition of an Israeli-origin cybersecurity, surveillance, artificial-intelligence or military-technology company during the period investigated.

Patents and academic research

No public evidence identified of a verified Bloomberg patent-licensing agreement or technology co-development contract with Technion, Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute or another Israeli research institution.

Controlling principals

No public evidence identified establishing a qualifying personal investment by Michael Bloomberg, a verified Bloomberg controlling shareholder or a named group executive in Israeli offensive-cyber, military-intelligence or surveillance technology under the criteria examined.

Bloomberg participation in Israeli digital-government-bond experimentation

In June 2023, technology company Fireblocks published a technical account of Project Eden, a proof of concept involving Israel’s Ministry of Finance, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and participating financial institutions.²⁰

The project demonstrated tokenised government-bond issuance and settlement using digital financial infrastructure.²⁰

Fireblocks reports that participating banks submitted bids through Bloomberg terminals during the demonstration on 31 May 2023.²⁰

The technical account attributes separate blockchain, tokenisation and digital-asset settlement functions to other project components and does not identify Bloomberg as the developer of those components.²⁰

This establishes participation of Bloomberg terminal technology in a 2023 Israeli sovereign-debt technology demonstration; the source does not establish that Bloomberg supplied or operated the blockchain infrastructure.²⁰

No public evidence identified establishing that the Project Eden demonstration became a Bloomberg-operated commercial digital-government-bond production platform.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

United Nations reporting

The United Nations Human Rights Council’s business-enterprise database has undergone successive reviews of corporate activities connected with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.²⁸

A September 2026 OHCHR update, summarized by the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, reported a revised database of 214 companies from 11 countries.²⁹

The available evidence reviewed for this audit did not establish Bloomberg L.P., Bloomberg Beta or a verified Bloomberg-controlled technology subsidiary as a named enterprise in that database.^{28, 29}

Technology-sector findings in UN reports

The United Nations Special Rapporteur’s 2025 report A/HRC/59/23 addresses technology companies, digital infrastructure, surveillance and the wider commercial systems associated with the occupied Palestinian territory.³⁰

No Bloomberg-specific technology contract, Project Nimbus agreement or surveillance deployment was established by the accessible evidence examined for this audit.

Specialist NGO investigations

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg-specific technology procurement, military surveillance contract or settlement-related digital infrastructure deployment documented in the accessible material from Who Profits, AFSC Investigate, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Al-Haq or comparable investigations.

Boycott and divestment campaigns

No public evidence identified of an organised boycott or divestment campaign specifically targeting Bloomberg for verified technology provision to Israeli military or settlement institutions.

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg corporate response to such a technology-specific campaign.

Regulatory and legal proceedings

No public evidence identified of an export-control proceeding, regulatory enforcement action, sanctions investigation or court determination concerning Bloomberg technology supplied to Israeli state security institutions.

Post-July 2024 and post-November 2024 commercial activity

Bloomberg’s publicly available documentation described enterprise cloud data services and real-time market-data delivery, with the cited Bloomberg cloud documentation available during the 2026 research period.^{8, 17}

Bloomberg Beta’s public investment records and third-party transaction reporting establish historical investments and continuing venture activity, but do not establish a post-November 2024 Israeli military technology contract or confirmed continuing ownership of a specific historical Israeli portfolio company.^{10, 27}

The Bank of Israel’s official records establish implementation of Bloomberg’s Israeli sovereign-debt auction system during 2006, while a September 2012 BofA Merrill Lynch research guide documents continued use of Bloomberg’s auction system for Israeli government-bond issuance.^{12, 14}

The Israeli government continued issuing domestic bonds during 2024, according to its 2025 SEC disclosure.³¹

The 2025 sovereign disclosure does not independently identify Bloomberg as the current government-bond auction software provider.³¹

No public evidence identified of a Bloomberg technology-provision agreement to an Israeli military or settlement institution continuing after 19 July 2024 or November 2024.

No public evidence identified conclusively establishing that Bloomberg’s original Israeli Ministry of Finance auction platform continued operating after November 2024.

Documented government technology relationship and unresolved termination

The Bank of Israel’s 2006 report and 2011 research establish that Israel implemented Bloomberg’s government-bond auction technology and conducted actual government issuance through the system.^{12, 13}

The September 2012 BofA Merrill Lynch research guide identifies Bloomberg’s auction system as the platform used for Israeli government-bond auctions.¹⁴

Fireblocks’ June 2023 technical account establishes that Bloomberg terminals were used for bidding during a subsequent Israeli government-bond digital-asset demonstration.²⁰

No public evidence identified establishing a formal replacement, termination or decommissioning date for Bloomberg’s original government-bond auction infrastructure.

No public evidence identified establishing the present contractual status, annual revenue, technical support arrangements or operating status of the original Bloomberg auction system as of 22 October 2026.

Settlement nexus

No public evidence identified of Bloomberg auction terminals or associated software being specifically installed in an Israeli settlement or contracted to a settlement authority.

The verified Ministry of Finance auction relationship concerns Israeli government sovereign-debt issuance, without a separately documented settlement-specific deployment.^{12, 14}
