Artificial intelligence: According to the report, Apple is raising $7.5 billion in the bond market for AI expansion

Bangalore. With a billion-dollar bond, iPhone manufacturer Apple is raising fresh money to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The group is raising around $7.5 billion through the placement of debt securities, according to a document available to the Reuters news agency on Thursday (local time).

In doing so, Apple is following the example of other large technology companies. They are currently borrowing enormous sums on the capital market to finance expensive data centers and cloud capacities for the AI ​​boom, although the industry traditionally relies more on its cash reserves. The current issue includes seven tranches with terms between 2026 and 2036, some of which have fixed and some variable interest rates.

According to a Bloomberg report, the placement is being organized by a banking consortium that includes Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank. Apple itself initially did not comment on the project. The group was last active on the bond market in May 2025 and raised $4.5 billion at that time.
