Google Parent Alphabet Expands Bond Sale, Debt Raise Exceeds $30 Billion: Report

• The new raise is higher than the $20 billion the company raised on Monday.
• As per the report that cited one source, investors are showing increasing demand for such issuances from tech giants that are at the center of the artificial intelligence boom. 
• According to the CNBC report, Meta is also gearing up for a large debt offering in the first half of 2026, as it seeks to accelerate its data center push across the U.S.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) is reportedly increasing its debt sale once again as the Google-owner closes in on a global bond issuance of more than $30 billion.

According to a report from CNBC that cited two people familiar with the matter, Alphabet on Tuesday went to the European market to raise about $11 billion in sterling and Swiss francs.

The new raise is higher than the $20 billion the company raised on Monday.

As per the report that cited one source, investors are showing increasing demand for such issuances from tech giants that are at the center of the artificial intelligence boom.

Meanwhile, shares of GOOG were down about 1.78% at the time of writing.

Rising Debt Sales

Alphabet’s debt plans come amid the company’s expectations to spend up to $185 billion in capital expenditures in 2026, which is more than twice its 2025 capex spend.

Other hyperscalers, including Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) have also announced massive capex allocations this year amid rising AI buildouts. Reports indicate that tech companies are likely to spend a combined amount of over $600 billion dollars this year alone.

Meanwhile, last week, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) raised $25 billion in debt sales that received more than $129 billion worth of orders. The company also announced that its capital plan for 2026 includes raising up to $50 billion in debt and equity.

According to the CNBC report, Meta is also gearing up for a large debt offering in the first half of 2026, as it seeks to accelerate its data center push across the U.S.

‘The Big Short’ Take

Michael Burry, the investor famous for predicting the U.S. housing market crash, recently said that Alphabet’s reported plans to issue ultra-long-dated bonds are similar to Motorola’s 1997 100-year bond.

Burry said Motorola’s issuance came at the peak of its dominance before its eventual decline. He noted that Motorola was then a top U.S. company by market value and revenue, yet later lost relevance as competitors overtook it.

Burry suggested Alphabet’s move could mark a historic moment, raising caution as Big Tech pours record capital into AI infrastructure.
