The tech company is selling long-term debt to fund new developments and products in its online search and AI empire.
Google appears to be gearing up to sell bonds with an up-to-100-year debt maturity in the near future. Sources have reported that the Alphabet company is gearing up to offer these bonds in purchases through US dollars, British pounds, and Swiss francs, with varying maturities that run from three to 25 years for the francs, and with maturities of three to 100 years elsewhere.
This comes from sources that spoke to the Wall Street Journal recently. According to those sources, Google’s dollar bonds could total to about $15 billion, but the final deal may change depending on demand from interested parties.

Google (GOOGL) stock has been trending upwards in the midday on Monday, February 9, 2026. Meanwhile, as recently as December 31, 2025, Google reported a total longterm debt of $46.5 billion in its Q4 2025 earnings results, up from nearly $11 billion in 2024. American investor Michael Burry pointed out that one of the last times a company issued a 100-year bond like this was Motorola, and soon after, the company dropped from one of the top 25 companies in the world to well over the 200 mark in terms of revenue and market cap.
It remains to be seen how such a play would work out for Google, but with the company not slowing down on its pursuits in AI tech development, it feels likely that we will hear more on this story soon. Stay tuned to the Google topic for more updates.
