04:50 AM EDT, 05/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) has returned to the euro debt market with a new multi-tranche bond offering as it ramps up funding for artificial intelligence infrastructure, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The Google (GOOG) parent is offering bonds in six tranches, including a long-dated note due 2063 that is being marketed at roughly 205 basis points above midswaps, according to the report.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential debt refinancing, with pricing expected later Monday, Bloomberg added.

Alphabet did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
