\n Amazon<\/a> is set to raise $15 billion from its first U.S. dollar bond offering in three years, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, as big tech firms increase investments to build infrastructure for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The proceeds topped initial estimates of $12 billion, the report said.<\/p>\n

As artificial intelligence workloads grow, big technology firms are turning to large-scale debt sales to fund infrastructure expansions that cost tens of billions of dollars.<\/p>\n

At the peak, the bond attracted about $80 billion of demand, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Proceeds may be used for everything, from acquisitions and capital expenditures to share buybacks.<\/p>\n

Amazon did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce giant filed for a six-part bond sale on Monday without disclosing a size, a regulatory filing showed. It declined to provide further details on the bond sale.<\/p>\n

Pricing discussions for the longest portion of the deal, a 40-year bond, tightened to 0.85 percentage point above Treasuries, from 1.15 percentage point initially, the report said, citing the people.<\/p>\n

Last month, Meta Platforms announced\u00a0its biggest bond sale of up to $30 billion, while cloud infrastructure and software maker Oracle is also\u00a0reportedly\u00a0looking to raise $15 billion in bond sales.<\/p>\n

Major tech firms including Meta, Amazon and Alphabet are expected to spend $400 billion on AI infrastructure this year, according to Morgan Stanley<\/a> estimates.<\/p>\n

Amazon has been spending more on AI with its capital expenditure expected to total around $125 billion this year and more the year after. It recently announced a\u00a0$38 billion deal\u00a0with OpenAI, giving a major lift to its cloud unit after losing ground to Microsoft and Google.
