🤖 SoftBank is borrowing $6.3B to go all-in on AI.
SoftBank is expected to issue 1 trillion yen (~$6.29B) of corporate bonds with a 7-year maturity to step up investment in AI.
⚡ Expected coupon: 4.3% – 4.9%
⚡ This would be SoftBank’s largest bond issuance in history, nearly double the prior record.
⚡ The final terms are expected to be announced on 4/9.
I think this is quite a notable signal.
AI is no longer just a story about chips, data centers, or models.
Companies are now borrowing billions to keep the AI party going. 💀
SoftBank really said:
“We believe in AI.”
“And apparently, we’re willing to finance that belief.” 😭
Would you borrow $6.3B to bet on AI right now?
