Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced Monday it is raising $80 billion in new equity capital to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure, with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. participating in a $10 billion private placement.
According to a new press release, Berkshire says it will purchase $5 billion in Alphabet Class A common stock at $351.81 per share and $5 billion in Class C capital stock at $348.20 per share, with Goldman Sachs acting as
placement agent.
“Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) today announced equity offerings totaling $80 billion, in expected aggregate amount, as part of its plan to fund investments in its world-class AI compute infrastructure to meet its
unprecedented customer demand.”
The broader raise consists of $30 billion in concurrent public offerings — including $15 billion in mandatory convertible preferred stock and $15 billion in common and capital stock — plus a $40 billion at-the-market program set to launch in Q3 2026.
Alphabet said proceeds will fund capital expenditures to scale AI infrastructure and global compute. The company projects 2026 capital expenditures of $180 billion to $190 billion, with 2027 spending expected to rise further.
Alphabet reported $110 billion in total revenue for Q1 2026, up 22% year-over-year, with Google Cloud revenue growing 63% in the same period. Google Cloud’s backlog nearly doubled quarter-over-quarter to over $460 billion.
The company said it has raised more than $85 billion in debt across six currencies over the past year, bringing total outstanding debt to over $100 billion.
