Oracle (ORCL) announced a $10 million investment and partnership to support the Nashville Symphony as the nonprofit orchestra restructures.
The funding will help address immediate financial needs and enable the Symphony to reinstate its 2026-27 season. The partnership also enables reinstatement of full-time staff and all orchestra members who were to be furloughed on October 18 because of a financial emergency, bringing them back to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Oracle is building its new headquarters on Nashville’s East Bank. The company framed the Symphony commitment as support for a cultural institution important to the community where it is establishing that headquarters.
Oracle (ORCL) announced a planned electricity subscription at Wisconsin's Point Beach Nuclear Plant, committing to absorb approximately $300 million in rising energy costs.
Oracle expects the commitment to save Wisconsin utility customers approximately $300 million in fuel costs and benefit more than 1 million customers. The subscription covers a portion of the Point Beach purchase power arrangement and remains subject to Public Service Commission of Wisconsin approval.
The plan accompanies Project Lighthouse, Oracle's data center development in Port Washington. Oracle will fully fund the project's energy costs, with the stated aim of protecting ratepayers' electricity bills and supporting grid reliability.
Oracle (ORCL) faces a potential delay at its Wisconsin data center campus, based on infrastructure data provider Aterio’s assessment. Aterio estimates meaningful power is unlikely before mid-2028, versus Oracle’s second-half 2027 delivery guidance for Project Lighthouse, which Vantage Data Centers is building in Port Washington.
Permits are in hand, construction has continued since December 2025, and satellite imagery shows two of four halls enclosed. Power depends on a new American Transmission Company interconnection requiring Wisconsin regulatory approval. The regulator closed the original review without ruling on the merits; ATC refiled in September, restarting the statutory clock. Aterio expects the next completeness decision around October 19, 2026. Its timing estimates are not commitments by the companies or regulators.

Oracle (ORCL) is integrating its banking software with Swift's blockchain ledger to connect banks' tokenized deposit systems across institutions.
Swift's ledger coordinates cross-bank payment flows while participating institutions manage tokenized deposits on their own ledgers. Oracle Blockchain Platform and Oracle Digital Assets Data Nexus provide a pre-integrated foundation that can host Swift commitment contracts and support the events needed for integration. Oracle Banking Payments connects digital asset flows with existing ISO 20022 payment processing. Oracle says the integration can help banks manage traditional and tokenized payments through one operating model.
Oracle (ORCL) and Surescripts plan to offer automated prior authorization within Oracle Health workflows, with general availability planned for 2027. Surescripts Prior Authorization Automation retrieves clinical information from a patient’s electronic health record and sends it to the pharmacy benefit manager. For available medications, approvals take a median of 18 seconds when all criteria are met.
If the submitted information does not support an approval, the prescriber is prompted to complete a prior authorization request. Oracle and Surescripts will also explore adding First-Fill Abandonment to Oracle Health workflows to flag prescriptions that patients do not pick up.
