Meta weighs bond sale of at least $20 billion to fund AI expansion
Meta is considering raising at least $20 billion through bonds sold across international markets.
The money would support its costly expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The possible bond sale follows plans announced last week for up to $97.5 billion in share sales, including stock and convertible preferred shares.
Meta has also asked Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to hold investor calls on Monday and Tuesday.
The bond sale is not final, and its size could increase depending on investor demand.
If Meta proceeds, the bonds would have a range of repayment dates, from about four years to more than 38 years, depending on the currency.
Meta is considering a cross-border bond offering of at least US$20 billion to help fund its artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion.
No final decision has been made, and the offering could be larger depending on investor demand.
The potential sale would include dollar and euro bonds, with maturities ranging from about four years to more than 38 years.
The move comes as investors question the returns on technology companies’ heavy spending on AI infrastructure.
Meta last week priced US$25 billion in common stock and US$12.5 billion in preferred shares, and plans to raise up to US$60 billion through a share-sale programme.
