That is about 12.7 B$ revenue in a single month. Intel Foundry reports about 4.5$ / quarter, almost 10x less than TSMC.
 
It looks like TSMC will be able to back up the $56B CAPEX, absolutely.

TSMC management gave a very confident 30% annual revenue growth rate till 2029 in their last reporting in Jan 2026. If one assumes they will stick with their relative capex intensity spend of around 35%, the coming years the cumulative capex amount TSMC will invest to fund the 3nm, 2 nm, 16A/14A and start of 10A and the advanced packaging till 2029 will be some 350 B$ !

Luckily TSMC has some interesting tax credits from US government (ICT 35%) and also the Taiwan government (25% on R&D and 5% on tools).
