Oracle Corp. plans to raise $45 billion to $50 billion this year through a combination of debt and equity sales to build additional cloud infrastructure capacity, reflecting the scale of financing needed to feed AI’s growth. The company is raising money to build additional capacity to meet the contracted demand from the company’s largest cloud customers, including Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Nvidia Corp., OpenAI, TikTok Inc. and xAI Corp., the company said in a statement Sunday. On Monday, it kicked off a US dollar bond offering that is expected to be about $20 billion to $25 billion, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak publicly. The announcement and bond sale coincide with persistent fears about whether massive artificial intelligence-linked investments by tech companies such as Oracle will pay off. Oracle in particular has become a barometer on sentiment about a possible AI bubble. The company’s stock has fallen around 50% from its record price on Sept. 10, wiping out roughly $460 billion in market value.
