AI boom drives tech giants to borrow billions for data centres

Original: Rechenzentren, Chips & Energie: Der KI-Boom verschlingt Milliarden. Weil Eigenkapital allein nicht reicht, greifen selbs

The artificial intelligence boom is consuming enormous sums for data centres, chips and energy, and even major technology companies are increasingly taking on debt because equity alone no longer covers the costs. Commentators warn that borrowing costs are tied directly to US Treasury yields, meaning rising interest rates could sharply inflate the price of financing the AI infrastructure buildout.

Why now: Concerns are growing that debt-financed AI infrastructure spending could become a financial risk if interest rates rise.
