[UK Media: Meta Plans to Raise Tens of Billions of Dollars Through Stock Issuance to Support AI Ambitions] According to a report by Jinse Finance on June 6, citing the Financial Times, Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering raising tens of billions of dollars through stock issuance as a new source of capital to support Mark Zuckerberg's ambitious plans in the field of artificial intelligence. Earlier this week, Google completed a record-breaking $85 billion stock transaction. According to three informed sources, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" financing methods, as the company plans to significantly increase AI-related capital expenditures this year to as much as $145 billion, with further increases planned through 2027. The sources noted that discussions have intensified following the successful fundraising by Google's parent company, Alphabet, earlier this week—driven by strong investor demand, the financing size was increased by $5 billion from the original plan. However, Meta has not yet hired investment banks and may ultimately decide not to issue new shares. One insider cautioned that it is still too early to conclude how the company will proceed, as all financing options remain under consideration.
