Meta Raises $15 Billion in US Dollar Bond Sale to Fund AI Infrastructure
Meta Platforms is raising $15 billion through a five-part US dollar bond offering to finance its expanding investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure, including data centers and cloud capacity. This move reflects a broader trend of tech companies increasingly turning to debt markets despite traditionally relying on cash reserves. The bond sale includes notes maturing in 2031 and 2033 with coupons of 5.85% and 6.25%, respectively. Additionally, Meta has initiated its first euro-denominated bond sale amid ongoing AI sector growth and regulatory concerns.
