Meta looks to raise up to $25 billion through bond sale

Meta is looking to borrow between $20 billion and $25 billion through a bond sale. The money would go towards building out the company's artificial intelligence infrastructure and services. The figures were reported on 3 and 4 November 2026.

The offering could be cross-border, meaning it could be sold to investors in more than one country. The minimum amount is $20 billion, with the upper figure rising to $25 billion in a later report. Meta has not publicly confirmed the size or timing of the sale.

The debt plan comes alongside a planned $97.5 billion equity fundraising. Taken together, the two moves show how large the cost of AI has become. Companies building data centres and training large models need huge sums, and many are now turning to both bonds and share sales to pay for it.

Meta has been ramping up spending on its infrastructure and AI models for some time. The bond sale is a way to meet that rising bill rather than a one-off cost. Other large technology firms are also borrowing heavily to finance similar projects.

Large sums are flowing into data centres and chips, which can shape the pace at which AI tools reach apps and services used in India.

What happens next is not yet clear. The bond sale has not been priced, and investor response is not known. Meta has not said how the proceeds will be split between infrastructure and AI models.
