Amazon and Alphabet's AI Bond Binge Is Repricing Debt Markets Worldwide — $220B+ Issued in 2026, Spilling Into CHF, CAD and Sterling Markets
Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Oracle and Nvidia have collectively issued ~$220B in investment-grade bonds in 2026, already surpassing all of 2025, and are now crowding out sovereign and corporate borrowers in non-dollar markets (Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, sterling). S&P Global places the figure at $225B — a ~974% year-over-year jump — and median spreads on 2–4yr paper have widened 10bp to 40bp over Treasuries. The supply overhang is structurally repricing the global IG credit market, with cover ratios falling and secondary-market prices below issuance on 78 of 91 deals tracked by Reuters.

Big Tech AI Debt Boom 'Driving' Treasury Yields Higher as $320B Combined 2026 Issuance Projected — Kobeissi Letter / Benzinga, citing Reuters-LSEG
Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Oracle alone issued $194B in bonds through early July 2026 (+79% vs all of 2025). Combined Big Tech issuance including SPVs is projected to hit a record $320B for the full year (+60% YoY). Market commentators now argue hyperscaler supply is a structural upward driver of Treasury yields — a systemic credit-market spillover that directly affects funding costs for Digital Realty, Equinix and any other issuer competing for the same IG investor pool.

Oracle Falls 4% as Bond Selloff Tests Its Debt-Funded AI Buildout — $43B Raised in Debt vs $56B FY2026 Capex Leaves It Most Leveraged Mega-Cap AI Builder
Oracle funded $55.7B in FY2026 capex — up from $21.2B the prior year — by raising $43B in debt markets and $5B in equity, producing a $23.7B cash outflow gap. A rising 10-year Treasury yield is repricing Oracle's debt-heavy balance sheet in real time, pushing the stock below its 200-day moving average. With S&P having downgraded Oracle to BBB– Stable in July 2026 (one notch above junk) and Moody's maintaining Baa2 with negative outlook, any further rate spike or capex miss risks a fallen-angel event — the most acute single-name credit stress story in the AI-capex issuer universe.
Method. OAS = option-adjusted spread over the bootstrapped US Treasury zero curve (from FRED CMT par yields) that reprices each bond's cash flows to its FINRA clean price. For the callable high-yield names (CoreWeave, SpaceX) the embedded call is valued on a Black-Derman-Toy short-rate lattice (CMT curve, lognormal vol per name) and its cost subtracted; the remaining bonds' calls are out-of-the-money (par-call near maturity) so their OAS equals the Z-spread to within a fraction of a bp. Illiquid bonds without a fresh TRACE print carry their last price forward, flagged no trade Nd. Level %ile = today's OAS within the bond's own history; Δ %ile = today's 1d/1w change within all historical same-horizon changes (100 = most extreme widening); PERCENTRANK.INC, suppressed below n=60. The trend sparkline spans each bond's last 90 sessions (shorter if its history is shorter) so all names cover a common window. Watch HY (CoreWeave, SpaceX) blowing out while IG (Meta, Oracle) holds — that divergence is the funding-stress tell.
