Meta is exploring the possibility of raising at least $20 billion through a cross-border bond sale as the technology giant looks to secure additional funding for its expanding investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, according to reports.

The proposed fundraising initiative comes as major technology companies increase spending on data centres, computing capacity and other infrastructure required to develop and deploy advanced AI technologies.

According to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter, Meta has not yet made a final decision on the bond offering. The overall fundraising amount could also increase depending on investor demand.

The company has reportedly approached Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to organise investor calls scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. The proposed bond issuance is expected to include both US dollar- and euro-denominated debt.

The dollar-denominated bonds could carry maturities ranging from five to 30 years, while the euro-denominated offering may include maturities spanning approximately four years to more than 38 years, Bloomberg reported.
The potential bond sale highlights Meta's efforts to diversify its funding sources as it commits substantial capital to strengthening its AI capabilities and infrastructure.

The discussions come shortly after the company announced a major equity fundraising initiative. Meta recently priced a $25 billion common stock offering alongside a $12.5 billion mandatory convertible preferred share offering.

Additionally, the company plans to raise up to $60 billion through a market-based share-sale programme, which will allow it to issue shares periodically at prevailing market prices.

Together, these equity initiatives could generate up to $97.5 billion, providing Meta with significant financial resources to support its long-term investment plans.

The proposed bond sale would further expand the company's access to capital markets at a time when AI infrastructure has become a major investment priority across the global technology industry.

As competition intensifies among technology companies to build AI models and scale computing infrastructure, Meta's potential fundraising underscores the growing financial requirements associated with the next phase of AI development.
