Alphabet has finalized an $84.75 billion equity capital raise to fund its expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure [1][3].

The historic offering was anchored by a $10 billion private placement from Berkshire Hathaway [1]. This investment signals significant institutional support for Google’s aggressive AI hardware roadmap [1]. Alphabet upsized the offering from its initial target to reach the final record-breaking total [3].
