Tech giant targets up to $42 billion across U.S. and European markets to finance data centers and advanced computing infrastructure
Amazon (AMZN) has launched what could become one of the largest corporate bond offerings in history, as the technology giant seeks to raise between $37 billion and $42 billion to support its rapidly expanding investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The fundraising effort reflects the growing financial demands of the global AI race, where major technology companies are committing hundreds of billions of dollars to data centers, advanced chips, and large-scale computing systems.
According to individuals familiar with the matter, Amazon plans to raise $25 billion to $30 billion through a U.S. dollar-denominated bond sale that may include as many as 11 tranches with maturities ranging from two to fifty years. One of the longest bonds, expected to mature in 2076, is being discussed with an initial yield roughly 1.55 percentage points above U.S. Treasuries. The offering is being managed by several major banks, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and HSBC.
In addition to its U.S. issuance, Amazon is targeting up to €10 billion ($11.6 billion) through a euro-denominated bond sale across as many as eight tranches with maturities ranging from two to 38 years. If completed as planned, it would represent one of the most complex and wide-ranging corporate bond offerings in European markets.
The transaction comes amid renewed activity in global debt markets after geopolitical tensions in the Middle East briefly slowed bond issuance earlier this month. Market participants note that Amazon’s strong credit profile makes it uniquely positioned to raise large amounts of capital even during periods of volatility.
The bond sale also highlights the escalating scale of spending among major technology firms pursuing artificial intelligence leadership. Amazon recently announced plans to invest approximately $200 billion in AI infrastructure in 2026, including data centers and specialized computing hardware. Combined with similar investments by companies such as Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle, total industry capital expenditures could reach $650 billion next year, underscoring the immense financial stakes of the AI revolution.
