Tech Giants Raise Capital to Fund AI Infrastructure Expansion

Tech giants like Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are turning to debt markets to raise capital, with total AI spending expected to exceed $700 billion in 2023. Amazon aims to raise at least $25 billion from U.S. bond markets, while Salesforce announced a $25 billion bond issuance to fund share buybacks. Oracle plans to gather $45-50 billion by 2026, and Alphabet seeks to raise $80 billion through stock offerings. This shift towards external funding for AI reflects an increasing reliance on investments, which may impact market stability and elevate financial risks for major tech firms.
