Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced on Monday that it plans to raise $80 billion through stock sales to fund its AI infrastructure buildout. The funds will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures to scale AI infrastructure and global compute, according to a company statement. A portion of the plan involves selling $10 billion in stock to Berkshire Hathaway, the global holding company led by Warren Buffett. Alphabet stated that it is experiencing strong demand for its AI solutions and services, which are exceeding current supply levels. By scaling investments, the company aims to expand its foundational infrastructure to support future growth. The stock sale is described as a way to fund investments in a balanced manner while maintaining a healthy balance sheet. Like other tech giants, Google has announced plans for significant compute investment this year, with CEO Sundar Pichai stating the company expects to spend between $180 billion and $190 billion on capital expenditures before the year ends. Industry-wide, tech giants are expected to spend up to $700 billion on AI-related capital expenditures this year. *Source: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/01/alphabet-plans-to-raise-80-billion-to-pay-for-ai-buildout/)*
