The company stated that demand for its AI solutions from enterprises and consumers exceeds available supply.
It added that the stock sale will allow it to fund investments while maintaining a healthy balance sheet. Part of the offering includes a $10 billion sale of stock to Berkshire Hathaway. Alphabet said the move will help scale its foundational infrastructure to meet expected growth.
At its developer conference last month, the company projected total capital expenditures of $180 billion to $190 billion for the year. Industry-wide spending on AI infrastructure is projected to reach as much as $700 billion in 2026.
