Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, a Saudi prince, and other investors have agreed to pour $7.1B into Elon Musk’s deal for Twitter

A group of private investors spanning Sequoia Capital, Brookfield, Binance, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and the Qatar Investment Authority have collectively agreed to drop $7.1 billion into Elon Musk’s deal for Twitter, according to a new disclosure filed with the SEC earlier today. In total, 19 investors or firms have agreed to make an equity investment in Twitter as Musk moves forward with plans to take it private, including Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, who has agreed to maintain his 34.9 million shares in the company (that will equate to roughly $1.9 billion once the deal closes).

“We hope to be able to play a role in bringing social media and web3 together and broadening the use and adoption of crypto and blockchain technology,” crypto exchange Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said in a statement. A Sequoia spokesperson said that Musk has showcased “business and technical prowess” with PayPal, SpaceX, and The Boring Company and that “we see, as he does, the opportunity to drive meaningful product innovation that will help unlock Twitter’s full potential as a global platform that connects the world.” Other investors including Dubai-based Vy Capital didn’t respond to an immediate request for comment. Spokespersons at Andreessen Horowitz and Fidelity, whose investment adviser to its mutual funds agreed to invest in Twitter, declined to comment.

The new equity funding, secured yesterday, according to the documents, is a big win for Musk—and likely a bit of a relief. Musk had taken a personal guarantee on the $12.5 billion margin loan he took out from Morgan Stanley and other banks, as Fortune has previously reported. Now he’s cutting that margin loan to $6.25 billion, according to the filing—meaning Musk is cutting his personal liability in half.

For investors, this may be a quick return on investment. Musk has reportedly told potential suitors that he may take Twitter public again after only a few years—maybe as few as three, according to the Wall Street Journal. Perhaps Musk is just looking for a little privacy for a few years while he makes changes to one of his favorite social media networks.

As for investors, they seem to be all for it. Or at least some of them. Private equity giant Apollo Global Management had reportedly been considering an investment, but the company’s name didn’t appear in today’s filing.

On another note… Brainstorm Tech is coming back to Aspen! This year’s event takes place July 11-13, and Fortune is excited to announce the initial lineup of speakers, which include GV Partner Terri Burns, Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield, and Away CEO Jen Rubio. As usual, we’ll convene leaders from FORTUNE 500 companies, the top emerging entrepreneurs of the tech world, and the most important investors who finance them.

See you tomorrow,
