AI arms race drives record bond issuance by tech giants, six major tech companies have issued $182 billion in investment-grade bonds this year
BlockBeats News, July 10 – The Kobeissi Letter stated that the AI arms race is driving record borrowing by major tech companies. Data shows that from 2026 to date, Amazon, Alphabet, Nvidia, Meta, Oracle, and SpaceX have issued a record $182 billion in investment-grade bonds, up 1,300% from approximately $13 billion in the same period of 2025.
These six companies account for nearly 15% of total U.S. corporate bond issuance this year and contribute over 50% of the growth in corporate bond issuance this year. During the same period, the U.S. market saw a record seven bond transactions of $25 billion or more, matching the total number of such transactions between 2019 and 2025.
Of the seven large bond transactions, six came from the aforementioned six companies, and the remaining one came from Salesforce. The capital demand for AI is reshaping the corporate bond market.
