To maintain its leading position in the global AI competition, Google's parent company Alphabet plans to raise 20 billion dollars by issuing dollar bonds. This amount significantly exceeds the previous market expectation of 15 billion dollars, demonstrating the company's strong confidence in future technology investments.

Investors' enthusiastic subscription in the capital market:

Despite the large financing amount, the investor response has been extremely enthusiastic. According to insiders, this bond issuance has received over 100 billion dollars in orders, with an oversubscription multiple of 5 times. Currently, this bond is expected to be issued in seven different terms.

New attempts in global financing:

In addition to raising funds in traditional markets, Alphabet is exploring more diversified financing channels:

  • Swiss and UK markets: The company is considering issuing bonds in Switzerland and the UK.

  • First-ever century bond: Notably, Alphabet may introduce a 100-year bond in the UK market, which will be an important attempt for top tech giants in the field of ultra-long-term financing.

Professional institutions supporting:

The underwriting team for this issuance is formidable, including global top financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, and Wells Fargo.

Industry observation:

In the era where computing power is power, large-scale financing often indicates more intense infrastructure expansion. This 20 billion dollars will provide sufficient "ammunition" for Google's AI model development, server upgrades, and global data center expansion. With the coordinated development of global branches such as Google Information Technology (China) Co., Ltd., Alphabet's move will undoubtedly further raise the bar in the AI sector.
