SoftBank, founded and led by billionaire Masayoshi Son, is slated to invest close to US$65 billion in OpenAI by October.\nProceeds of the loan could partly be used to repay a US$40 billion bridge loan secured earlier this year for the OpenAI investments, the people said. Commitments are due Aug 31 and banks are already in talks to join, the people added.\nThe International Financing Review reported news of the deal earlier this week.\nSoftBank is also looking at tapping the bond market for additional funding. It's considering US$10 billion to US$20 billion offering to help refinance the bridge loan, and it's planning a record ¥1 trillion retail bond sale in its home market for its investment commitments to OpenAI.\nThe company earlier this month also secured a US$10 billion loan backed by its OpenAI stake, which includes covenants that may require it to post cash or repay early.\nSoftBank and Mizuho declined to comment.\nSoftBank's borrowings come as US tech firms are planning to pour trillions of dollars into data centres and other AI infrastructure in the coming years. Companies have already borrowed more than US$410 billion so far this year for such facilities and other AI investments in the bond markets alone, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.\nUploaded by Magessan Varatharaja","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"shareholding","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.48.0","shortVersion":"4.48.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2663155650","isCrawlerRequest":true}
