Alphabet Plans First Yen Bond Sale to Finance Artificial Intelligence Projects

Alphabet plans its first issuance of Japanese yen-denominated bonds to support its expanding artificial intelligence initiatives, with the offering expected to total several hundred billion yen. The company has engaged Mizuho, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley for the transaction, though specific terms remain undecided. This move reflects a broader trend among major technology firms, including Amazon, which is preparing Swiss franc bonds, to increasingly use debt markets to finance costly AI infrastructure investments.
