Meta Plans $95 Billion Equity Raise with New Non-Voting Shares to Fund AI Expansion
Meta Platforms is raising up to $95 billion through equity offerings, including a $35 billion public stock sale and a planned $60 billion at-the-market share sale of new non-voting Class C shares. These funds will support Meta's extensive investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure, data centers, and related technologies. The introduction of Class C shares allows Meta to raise capital without diluting CEO Mark Zuckerberg's voting control. Major chipmakers like Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom have shown interest in purchasing shares, highlighting industry collaboration amid growing AI competition.
