Amazon's latest 10-Q shows a secured loan facility of up to about $80 billion it can draw from Q1 2027 through Q3 2028 to buy technology infrastructure. Borrowings carry variable rates, mature five years after each draw and are secured by some purchased assets. Amazon still expects about $220 billion of 2026 capex, rising meaningfully in 2027, mostly on tech infrastructure.

Why it matters

It is one of the largest dedicated borrowing lines a hyperscaler has set up for AI infrastructure, showing AI buildouts are leaning more on debt, a backdrop to current market worries about AI spending.
