Meta Seeks At Least $25 Billion in Bonds to Fund AI and Data-Center Expansion

Investor demand is reportedly heavy for debt financing a larger AI data‑center buildout.

Overview

  • The investment-grade sale is being marketed in six tranches with maturities from five to 40 years, led by Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.
  • Pricing talk puts the longest-dated notes near 1.4 percentage points over comparable U.S. Treasuries, with final size and yields yet to be set.
  • Early market reports indicate roughly $125 billion of orders for the deal, while Meta’s shares fell as much as 14% after its higher-spending outlook.
  • Meta said capital expenditures could reach up to $72 billion this year and accelerate considerably in 2026 to support AI infrastructure and data centers.
  • The company last issued $10 billion of public bonds in 2022, and a Meta-linked Louisiana data-center venture privately sold about $27 billion of debt earlier this month.
