Meta seeks up to $95 billion in equity offerings to fund AI expansion
Meta is preparing to raise up to $95 billion across equity offerings to bankroll its massive artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion, beginning with an initial $35 billion share sale.
Meta is moving to raise up to $95 billion by selling stock to finance its massive buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. The planned financing push involves multiple waves of equity sales aimed at funding data centers, computing capacity, and Meta's development of personal superintelligence.[1][2][3][9][11]
The initial phase consists of a $35 billion underwritten equity offering divided into $22.5 billion in Class A common stock and $12.5 billion in Series A mandatory convertible preferred shares. Major semiconductor partners Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom have expressed interest in participating as cornerstone investors, indicating nonbinding interest to purchase up to a combined $5 billion in shares.[4][5][6][7][8][10][11][12]
Meta is also planning to raise up to $60 billion through a secondary stock-sale program slated for 2027, potentially via an at-the-market offering or Class C shares. The aggressive financing effort coincides with Meta targeting capital expenditures between $135 billion and $145 billion for 2026, though the sheer scale of the raise has drawn attention to escalating AI expenditures and potential shareholder dilution.[6][8][11][13]
