Amazon Launches First Sterling Bond Sale to Fund AI Infrastructure Expansion
Amazon has launched its first sterling-denominated bond sale, aiming to raise approximately £4.25 billion ($5.8 billion) through four maturities ranging from three to 19 years. This move is part of a broader trend among major technology companies, or hyperscalers, diversifying funding sources globally to finance expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers. Investor demand remains strong despite slight easing, with Amazon leading bond issuance among hyperscalers in 2026 and following similar strategies as peers like Alphabet.
