Technology giant Oracle (ORCL) has announced plans to raise up to $50 billion U.S. to develop additional data centre capacity for its customers.
Oracle says it aims to raise $45 billion U.S. to $50 billion U.S. of cash to help it build additional data centre capacity to meet rising demand from its cloud-computing customers.
Those customers include Nvidia (NVDA), Meta Platforms (META), AMD (AMD), OpenAI, TikTok and xAI. The funding will be raised through a combination of debt and equity.
Technology companies such a Nvidia and Meta are relying on Oracle to help them build the infrastructure needed to power artificial intelligence (A.I.) models and applications.
Data centre investments hit a record $61 billion U.S. in 2025, with big technology firms committing huge sums to build the infrastructure that powers A.I.
This is the latest fundraising by Oracle in recent months. The company raised $18 billion U.S. in a bond sale last September.
Some analysts and investors have raised concerns about Oracle’s aggressive A.I. data centre buildout and growing debt.
ORCL stock has declined 50% since last September. Over the past 12 months, the company’s share price has fallen 2% to trade at $164.58 U.S. per share.
