Meta to Issue Up to $30 Billion in Bonds to Fund AI and Infrastructure Push

Meta Platforms (META.O) announced plans to raise up to $30 billion through a six-part bond offering as it ramps up investment in artificial intelligence and data-centre infrastructure. 

The bonds will carry maturities ranging from five to 40 years, giving Meta flexibility on timing and cost of funding. 

Meta also flagged that its capital spending in 2026 will be “notably larger” than in 2025, signalling a major build-out phase for its AI ambitions. 

The announcement raised investor concern: Meta’s share price fell more than 10% following the news as markets weighed the risks of such heavy borrowing and spending. 

Analysts note that Meta is joining a broader tech trend: as AI infrastructure costs surge, large-cap firms are increasingly tapping debt markets to fund their growth.
