Google disclosed in a quarterly filing that its future contractual spending commitments reached $811 billion as of the end of June, up by nearly $500 billion from three months earlier. The company said these obligations are reported separately from its capital expenditure budget and reflect purchases already committed under supply agreements and outstanding purchase orders. About $200.7 billion of the total was tied to short-term procurement.
The commitments span chips, data centers, power, inventory, and content licensing, showing how quickly Google has been locking in resources tied to its artificial intelligence buildout. The filing gives a fresh look at the scale of infrastructure being assembled to support AI workloads.
Alphabet, Google’s parent company, said on Wednesday that it expects to spend about $195 billion to $205 billion on capital expenditures this year alone as it competes with Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon to expand AI computing capacity, according to Jin10 as cited in the Odaily report.
