What happened
SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in debt financing, led by Apollo Global Management, to purchase Nvidia AI chips. The financing package would consist of approximately $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt. This financing effort was reported earlier in July, where Blackstone and Coatue Management were noted as leading the round.
Why it matters
The financing underscores AI as a major source of corporate debt supply. The large investment-grade offering adds to the competition for investor cash, a factor Goldman Sachs cited as pushing US Treasury yields higher.
