Alphabet’s Century Bond Sparks Credit Market Concerns Amid AI Spending Spree

BTCCSquare news:
Alphabet Inc. has ignited debate among credit strategists with its £1 billion 100-year sterling bond issuance, part of a broader $20 billion multi-currency debt raise. The tech giant's unprecedented move—attracting nearly 10x oversubscription from institutional investors—comes as it ramps up AI infrastructure spending to $185 billion by 2026.
Market veterans see parallels to late-1990s credit froth, when century bonds preceded corrections. With tech debt issuance potentially reaching $3 trillion within five years and spreads at historic lows, the Google parent's financing strategy may signal peak-cycle exuberance rather than prudent capital allocation.
