Nvidia to raise $25 billion in first corporate bond sale in five years Saeed Azhar, Tatiana Bautzer and Zaheer Kachwala Mon, June 15, 2026 at 3:43 PM GMT+2 2 min read NVDA By Saeed Azhar, Tatiana Bautzer and Zaheer Kachwala June 15 (Reuters) - Nvidia said on Monday it would raise $25 billion through a U. S. bond issuance, as it taps the debt market to ‌increase liquidity for the first time since 2021.

The debt financing was more than initially planned, ‌Reuters had reported earlier on Monday, citing two sources. More from Yahoo Scout Why is Nvidia raising $25 billion through bonds? What are Nvidia's planned uses for proceeds?

How does this compare to other tech companies? How strong was investor demand for Nvidia's offering? Investor demand for the bond sale hit $85 billion, one of the sources familiar with the ​matter said, declining to be named as the plan was still private.

It was initially looking to raise $20 billion, the source had said earlier. The bond consists of seven tranches of notes, maturing as late as 2056, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters. Demand was mainly domestic, the first source said, adding that bond issuance ‌came as a surprise to investors ⁠as the company said little ahead of time.

The AI chip leader has not accessed the investment-grade bond market in five years, previously raising $5 billion in June 2021, the ⁠source said. A company spokesperson said Nvidia aims to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment and refinancing of outstanding notes. The main reason, according to one of the sources, was to establish a liquid benchmark ​to ​its cost of credit - more so than funding capital ​expenditures.

The chipmaker capped the bond issue at $25 billion ‌to keep low credit spreads and in contrast with the hyperscalers funding their investments in AI, one of the sources said. Big Tech companies have signaled that spending on AI would not slow down, with combined outlays set to surpass $700 billion this year, up from around $400 billion in 2025. Meta in October filed for its largest bond offering of up to $30 billion, while Alphabet last month disclosed its plans to sell Japanese ‌yen-denominated bonds for the first time.

While Nvidia has not been ​building large-scale data centers, its chips, which are used in those ​servers, enjoy red-hot demand from companies looking ​to train, and run increasingly advanced models. In order to keep pace with the fast-evolving ‌AI sector, Nvidia has been investing heavily in ​building the most advanced ​processors, now releasing a new family of chips every year, each with higher AI capabilities than the last. The company has $13.

24 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of the quarter ended April ​2026. Nvidia shares closed up 3. 3% ‌on Monday.

Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley are the bookrunners.
