Amazon Issuing €10 Billion Bond Sets Record, to Be Used for AI Investments

BlockBeats News, March 11th, according to Bloomberg, Amazon is making its debut in the Euro bond market, planning to raise about 10 billion euros through a record-breaking eight-part bond issuance to fund investments in the artificial intelligence field.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the transaction has maturities ranging from 2 years to 38 years. Based on compiled data, this is the first-ever eight-part bond issuance in the region. Prior to this, Amazon had just completed an 11-part U.S. dollar bond sale on Tuesday, raising $37 billion. The jointly issued bonds are expected to be one of the largest corporate bond issuances in history, and the latest in a series of mega-deals initiated by cloud computing giants pouring funds into artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Amazon, along with Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft, is expected to have a total capital expenditure of around $650 billion in 2026. Amazon's move comes a month after announcing a $200 billion investment in data centers, chips, and other equipment in 2026. This amount exceeded analysts' expectations and raised concerns among stock investors about when the massive artificial intelligence spending will begin to pay off.
