ISTANBUL, June 2 — US tech company Alphabet announced plans Monday to raise US$80 billion through stock offerings to finance its investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
The company said in a statement that it “announced equity offerings totalling US$80 billion, in expected aggregate amount, as part of its plan to fund investments in its world-class AI compute infrastructure to meet its unprecedented customer demand.”
According to the statement, US$30 billion is expected to be raised through public stock offerings, while US$40 billion is planned to be generated through stock sales conducted over time beginning in the third quarter of 2026.
