Leading technology entities including Amazon, Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta, Oracle, and SpaceX have issued a record $182 billion in investment-grade bonds throughout 2026. This aggressive capital raising is fueled by the intensifying competition to secure dominance in the artificial intelligence market.
The total debt issuance marks a 1,300% surge from the previous level of approximately $13 billion. This significant increase in borrowing reflects the massive infrastructure and development costs required for the current global AI arms race.
