Oracle Eyes $15B Bond Sale Following Massive AI Deal with OpenAI

September 24, 2025 - Oracle is reportedly preparing to raise $15 billion through a corporate bond issuance, just weeks after finalizing a landmark AI infrastructure agreement with OpenAI.

According to Bloomberg, which cited sources familiar with the matter, the tech giant's bond sale could span up to seven tranches, with one potentially including a rare 40-year bond. Oracle has not yet responded to TechCrunch’s request for comment.

The timing of the bond initiative closely follows Oracle’s reported $300 billion compute deal with OpenAI, prompting questions about how such a significant agreement would be financed.

Additionally, Oracle is said to be in active discussions with Meta for another major compute contract, estimated at around $20 billion.

In related leadership news, Oracle announced on Monday that Safra Catz will step down as CEO after an 11-year tenure and transition to executive vice chair of the board. The company will now be led by co-CEOs Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia.
