Big Tech leans on bond markets to fund AI data centers

The shift comes as lenders and investors see rising risk for large data center buildouts tied to AI demand.

The New York Times Business reports that major technology firms increasingly are using the bond market to finance AI data center expansion.

The outlet describes bond issuance as a key funding channel for companies that need very large sums to build and expand data center capacity.

According to the report, the move reflects concerns that risk is rising as these projects scale, even for established tech groups.

The story highlights that firms in the orbit of the Ellison media empire, including Oracle, are turning to debt financing as the size and pace of their data center plans grow.
