Alphabet's Bold AI Bet: Issues 100-Year Bond to Fund Future Growth

• Google's parent company, Alphabet, issued a 100-year maturity bond worth approximately 1 billion pounds to fund its AI and data center infrastructure.
• The bond, issued in British currency, attracted strong interest from pension funds and insurance companies seeking long-term investments.
• Market experts suggest this move highlights the rapid debt accumulation by tech companies for AI and data center development, with Alphabet's CAPEX potentially reaching $185 billion this year.
• Concerns are rising about an overheated market, as the easy sale of a 100-year corporate bond could signal excessive enthusiasm.
• While other tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle are also investing heavily, some experts view the 100-year bond as a risky bet due to the fast-changing tech landscape and current market conditions.
