Amazon issues €10 billion bonds for the first time, with a record eight tranches structured for AI investment

Gate News reports that on March 11, Amazon entered the euro bond market for the first time, raising approximately €10 billion through a record-breaking eight-part bond issuance to fund investments in artificial intelligence. The bonds have maturities ranging from 2 to 38 years, marking the first time in the region that an eight-part bond issuance has been conducted. Earlier, on Tuesday, Amazon completed an issuance of 11 tranches of U.S. dollar bonds, raising $37 billion. The bonds from this joint issuance are expected to become one of the largest corporate bond offerings in history and are the latest in a series of massive deals by cloud computing giants investing heavily in AI infrastructure. Amazon, along with Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft, is projected to have capital expenditures totaling around $650 billion by 2026. This transaction comes a month after Amazon announced plans to invest about $200 billion in data centers, chips, and other equipment by 2026, a figure that exceeded analyst expectations and sparked concerns among stock investors about when the massive AI investments will start to generate returns.
