Google parent Alphabet sold €6 billion ($6.7 billion) in euro-denominated debt across seven tranches on Monday, according to Reuters. The offering drew robust appetite from investors, attracting more than €17 billion in total demand.[3][5][2]

The issuance marks Alphabet's second euro bond sale of 2026, which Bloomberg described as the latest effort by a hyperscaler to raise debt to fund artificial intelligence investments. Initial market reports indicated the company was selling at least $3.9 billion of new debt in Europe before the size was set at €6 billion.[1][4][3]

Alphabet is paying higher interest rates on the new bonds than it did during its earlier sale in May 2026, per Bloomberg. In that May transaction, the company issued €9 billion of bonds across six tranches.[4][3][5]
