Alphabet looks to raise up to $25 billion from latest bond sale, source says

Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is planning to raise between $20 billion and $25 billion through a new U.S. bond offering, according to a source familiar with the matter. This follows a significant selloff triggered by Alphabet’s revised 2026 capital spending outlook. The company is issuing notes across multiple maturities ranging from two to 40 years, based on a regulatory filing and reports from Bloomberg News. Alphabet has not officially commented on the specifics of the offering. This move reflects broader trends among major technology firms, such as Amazon, Meta, and Oracle, who have significantly increased their bond issuances to finance expensive artificial intelligence (AI) projects. These companies are shifting away from relying solely on internal cash reserves, as AI development requires substantial financial commitment. In recent months, Alphabet has also raised billions through equity offerings and issued bonds in various currencies, including a notable 100-year bond.
