Microsoft Aims to Borrow About $25 Billion, Its First U.S. Bond Sale in Nine Years

Microsoft expects to borrow about $25 billion by selling U.S. bonds, or IOUs rated low-risk, Reuters reported October 29, citing a source. Bloomberg News put it at at least $25 billion. It would be Microsoft's first such sale in more than nine years, reportedly to pay for artificial intelligence. This is a target, not a finished deal.
