Microsoft Plans $25 Billion Bond Sale to Fund AI

Microsoft is planning to raise at least $25 billion through its first U.S. investment-grade bond sale in more than nine years. The company intends to sell the debt in up to 10 tranches with maturities ranging from two to 40 years, though the final size of the offering may be adjusted based on market demand.

This move follows a broader trend of technology companies tapping debt markets to finance significant investments in artificial intelligence. Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and UBS Group AG are managing the bond offering.
