"pockets $1B", I think that's it's still over several years, I suspect if they go "bust" they won't have that 1B

I had a deal with a big provider in NL to pay a fixed fee every month, when they backed out I forced them to pay the full amount over the duration of the contract in one go.

Not saying that will always work, but it did work for me (it wasn't a billion though (obviously), but a few hundred K).
