Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL.US) will issue shares to raise up to USD80 billion to fund substantial investments in AI projects. Of the total, USD40 billion will be raised through market-priced issuance of Class A and Class C shares, USD30 billion through underwritten offerings and mandatory convertible preferred shares, while the remaining USD10 billion will stem from an investment by Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A.US).

It is rare for a large listed company to conduct equity financing of such magnitude. Alphabet stated that AI is driving the company into an expansion phase, and the company will be able to expand its infrastructure to support humungous growth opportunities in the future by scaling up its investments.
