A major push into AI infrastructure is taking shape as Google’s parent company, Alphabet, prepares to raise $80 billion through a mix of stock-based funding and external investment.
The company plans to secure $30 billion through a public offering. It will also run a $40 billion program that allows it to sell shares over time. Along with that, it will receive a $10 billion private placement from Berkshire Hathaway.
This funding approach is designed to support large-scale expansion while keeping financial stability intact. The structure also helps the company manage long-term capital needs without stressing its balance sheet.
In the first quarter of this year, Google recorded a strong performance. Revenue rose 22% year over year and reached $110 billion. The company also reported 350 million paid subscriptions across its services during the same period.
Future spending plans show even more aggressive growth. Alphabet expects capital expenditures to reach $180 billion to $190 billion in 2026. Spending is projected to increase further in 2027.
The $80 billion raise will help support this expansion strategy. According to the company’s official statement, the aim is to fund growth in a balanced way while maintaining a healthy balance sheet.
