Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has raised 576.5 billion yen ($3.6 billion) through a yen-denominated bond sale, marking the largest bond issuance ever completed by a foreign company in Japan. The landmark deal highlights the growing demand for tech-related investments and reflects Alphabet’s aggressive funding strategy to support its expanding artificial intelligence initiatives.
The bond offering represents Alphabet’s first-ever yen-denominated debt issuance. The tech giant has been actively diversifying its funding sources as competition in the artificial intelligence sector intensifies. Alphabet previously tapped global debt markets through bond sales in euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, and Swiss francs.
According to the term sheet released Friday, Alphabet issued bonds with maturities ranging from three years to 40 years. Coupon rates were set between 1.965% and 4.599%, attracting strong interest from both domestic and international investors. Financial institutions involved in the transaction include Mizuho Securities, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley, which served as joint bookrunners for the deal.
Mizuho Securities stated that investor demand for the offering was exceptionally strong. The issuance surpassed the previous record for a foreign corporate bond sale in Japan, which was set in 2019 when Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway raised 430 billion yen.
Alphabet’s record-breaking bond sale comes as major technology companies continue pouring billions into AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and data center expansion. The company has projected capital expenditures of up to $190 billion this year, signaling its commitment to strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence market.
The successful yen bond issuance also reflects continued confidence among global investors in Alphabet’s long-term growth strategy and financial stability despite broader market uncertainties in the global economy.
