Meta Platforms has successfully raised $25 billion through investment-grade bonds to bolster its artificial intelligence infrastructure. This decision comes after a significant $30 billion bond sale last year, marking an aggressive strategy for capital investment in AI technologies. The latest bond issuance will support an increased capital expenditure forecast, which Meta raised to between $125 billion and $145 billion for 2026. Notably, this strategy includes a reduction in its metaverse initiatives and potential workforce layoffs as the company focuses on AI growth.
