Alphabet Seeks $15 Billion in Bond Sale to Fuel AI Infrastructure

Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has launched a massive debt sale aimed at raising approximately $15 billion to expand its data centers and AI capabilities. The bond sale has already seen overwhelming demand, with orders reportedly exceeding $100 billion as investors bet on the long-term dominance of "hyperscale" cloud providers.

This move underscores the staggering capital requirements of the AI era; Alphabet’s capital expenditures are projected to reach as high as $185 billion this year alone. As returns on AI software begin to lag behind the costs of building the hardware, the company is turning to high-grade dollar bonds to maintain its competitive edge against rivals like Microsoft and Amazon.
