Equity Capital Raise
In June 2026, we issued a combination of Class A stock and Class C stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock for aggregate net proceeds of $49.6 billion, to be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures to scale AI infrastructure and global compute.
Additionally, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents to sell up to $40.0 billion of our Class A stock and Class C stock from time to time through an At-the-Market Program (ATM Program).
The proceeds of the ATM Program are primarily intended to be used to meet tax obligations associated with employee equity grants.

Issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes
In the second quarter of 2026, we issued senior unsecured notes for net proceeds of $20.3 billion, to be used for general corporate purposes.
