Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion in equity to fund AI infrastructure and personal superintelligence
Meta said on Oct 26 it launched about $35 billion of underwritten offerings: $22.5 billion of Class A stock via forward sale agreements and about $12.5 billion of mandatory convertible preferred depositary shares. It plans a roughly $60 billion at-the-market program once Class C stock trades, about $95 billion in all. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom indicated non-binding interest in up to $5 billion.
Why it matters
Meta expects 2026 capex of $135B-$145B; the raise funds AI infrastructure and products such as its Muse agent. The $60B ATM program has no agreement yet, and its size and timing are not set.
