Meta sold $25 billion in US bonds and €9 billion in euro notes to fund AI investments, amid rising investor concern over hyperscalers’ debt loads and uncertain returns. The company paid higher borrowing premiums as bond buyers demanded clearer plans for turning AI spending into cash flow. Tech bond spreads widened amid concerns that political and regulatory scrutiny could delay data-center projects. Meta also raised funds through stock and preferred-share offerings. The financing reflects a shift toward smaller, carefully timed deals as technology companies face more expensive borrowing and closer scrutiny of AI-related spending.
