Amazon seeks at least $25 billion through U.S. dollar bond sale to fund AI build-out, Bloomberg reports

is aiming to raise at least $25 billion through a U.S. dollar bond sale, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The reported objective is part of a broader push by the company, and other major tech groups, to finance increasingly expensive artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Bloomberg’s account, as repeated by a Reuters-sourced broadcast post, said the size of the offering could increase depending on investor demand. Amazon did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment, according to the report.

In a regulatory filing earlier in the day, Amazon had submitted plans for what the Reuters summary described as an eight-part offering of floating and fixed-rate notes. The filing details were referenced in the report, but the specific maturity dates, coupon structures, and pricing terms were not included in the material available for this story.

The bond sale would be another example of big technology firms tapping debt markets to fund AI spending. The Reuters summary said tech companies have been moving through bond and equity issuance to pay for their AI infrastructure build-outs, and it cited an expectation that big tech spending on AI will exceed $700 billion this year.

The report also pointed to other recent examples of jumbo issuance. It said Meta Platforms sold investment-grade bonds worth $25 billion earlier in the year, after a $30 billion bond sale in 2025 that Reuters characterized as the company’s biggest ever. It added that Alphabet, Meta’s and Amazon’s peers, announced last month plans to raise about $85 billion through an equity sale.

For Amazon, the funding approach aligns with the economics of large-scale AI deployment, which tends to require significant capital for data centers, power, networking, and ongoing compute capacity. While the bond announcement in the reporting emphasizes AI investment, Amazon did not provide additional public detail in the included coverage about how the proceeds would be allocated line by line.

Industry observers will watch the structure of Amazon’s planned notes, because the mix of floating and fixed-rate instruments can affect how much interest-rate risk the company carries. They will also watch the final total raised versus the “at least” level cited by Bloomberg, since demand-driven upsizing is common in large corporate bond deals.

Still, several details remain unconfirmed in the reporting available here. The coverage did not specify the expected final size, the exact maturities for each tranche in the eight-part offering, the use of proceeds beyond the broad reference to AI investments, or whether the company plans additional currency-denominated issuance in parallel. Those points would typically be clarified in the final prospectus supplements or pricing announcements once market conditions and investor demand are known.
