Amazon Plans First $12 Billion US Bond Sale In 3 Years To Boost AI Infrastructure: Report

The e-commerce and cloud computing giant has submitted plans for a six-part bond offering.

Amazon is preparing to raise around $12 billion through a major corporate bond sale, its first issuance in US dollars in nearly three years, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.

The move comes as large technology companies step up borrowing to fund the rapidly expanding infrastructure required for artificial intelligence.

According to regulatory filings, the e-commerce and cloud computing giant has submitted plans for a six-part bond offering, though the exact size was not disclosed in the documents.

The fresh debt issue reflects a broader trend across the tech sector. As demand for AI computing power accelerates, companies are pouring tens of billions of dollars into data centres, chips and cloud networks—costs increasingly met through bond markets.

Bloomberg reported that initial pricing discussions for the longest tranche of Amazon’s offering, a 40-year bond, suggest a premium of roughly 1.15 percentage points above US Treasuries, according to people familiar with the plans.

Other major firms have recently tapped the debt market as well. Meta Platforms announced last month that it would launch its largest-ever bond sale, worth up to $30 billion, to support its ongoing infrastructure build-out. Oracle is also reported to be exploring a $15 billion bond sale to support its cloud expansion.
