The tech giant Amazon aims to raise at least $25 billion through the sale of bonds in US dollars – so reported the Bloomberg network this week. The emerging move is the latest step in the company's efforts to fund its heavy investments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). According to the report, which relies on sources familiar with the details, the final size of the offering may even grow beyond that, depending on the level of demand shown by investors.
The current move was also revealed through a regulatory filing submitted by the tech giant earlier today, showing that the company submitted an official request to execute a complex eight-part offering, which will include variable-rate and fixed-rate notes.
This fundraising by Amazon comes against the backdrop of a broader trend in the industry: Many tech companies have recently turned to the debt markets and launched stock offerings with the goal of funding the construction of their expensive AI infrastructure. The tech giants – including Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta – are expected to spend a massive sum together of more than $700 billion on the field of artificial intelligence during this year alone.
Amazon is not the only one executing giant moves of this type. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, sold investment-grade bonds earlier this year worth $25 billion. This followed a bond sale worth $30 billion that it executed in 2025, which was defined as the largest fundraising in the company's history. At the same time, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced just last month its own plans to raise a sum of about $85 billion through a stock sale.
