The proposed deal could be denominated in U.S. dollars and offshore yuan, with issuance possible as early as this month. The move would place Tencent among major technology companies turning to debt markets as artificial intelligence infrastructure spending rises. Bloomberg said the financing discussion comes as global tech groups raise large sums to support AI demand. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has already sold $25 billion in U.S. dollar bonds and also completed its first Australian dollar bond sale. Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are also expected to pursue equity or convertible bond financing, according to the report. Morgan Stanley estimates that global AI-related bond issuance will approach $570 billion by 2026, more than double last year’s level.
