SpaceX launches $25 billion notes offering for debt repayment, AI expansion

By Nupur Anand

June ‌23 (Reuters) - Elon ​Musk's ​SpaceX said on Tuesday it has launched a five-tranche notes offering to raise ‌at least $25 billion, as the newly public ⁠company seeks funding for its capital-intensive AI expansion.

SpaceX's AI ‌ambitions carry a hefty ‌price tag, requiring tens of billions of dollars in investment in data centers, computing hardware ​and power infrastructure.

The senior unsecured notes will be issued across 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, 20-year, 30-year ⁠tenors. Proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under its bridge ​loan facility as well as for general corporate purposes.

The offering, which is SpaceX's ​first investment-grade dollar bond issuance, ‌has drawn nearly $85 billion in orders, a source familiar with the matter ⁠told Reuters.

Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are managing the sale, according ⁠to a document seen by Reuters.

Credit rating agencies assigned the ​company investment-grade ratings last week, signaling confidence in SpaceX's financial stability as it moves forward with its costly ‌AI plans.

The rockets-to-AI firm's shares rebounded on Tuesday, following a recent selloff ‌tied to a broader tech pullback, after a ⁠blockbuster debut on June ‌12.
