Amazon is planning to raise at least $25 billion by selling US dollar bonds.

The move comes as part of the company's strategy to fund its massive investments in artificial intelligence (AI).

The final amount could be higher depending on investor demand, sources familiar with the matter have told Bloomberg.

Offering details

Amazon's bond offering will be in up to eight tranches, with maturities ranging from three to 40 years.

The initial pricing for the longest tranche, a note maturing in 2066, is set at a premium of about 1.45% over Treasuries.

Barclays, Goldman Sachs Group, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley are managing this bond offering.

Funding shift

The shift toward debt and equity offerings for funding is a departure from the traditional reliance on cash reserves by Silicon Valley giants.

Companies like Alphabet and Meta have also turned to this strategy to fund their expensive AI infrastructure build-out.

Notably, Alphabet recently announced an $85 billion equity sale, while Meta sold $25 billion worth of investment-grade bonds earlier this year.
