Amazon secures $17.5B loan for AI data center buildout

Amazon has lined up a $17.5 billion senior unsecured delayed-draw term loan credit facility as it continues increasing spending on AI infrastructure and data centers.

The financing was disclosed in an SEC filing and first reported by Reuters. Lenders on the facility include Citibank, BofA Securities, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Wells Fargo.

Because the borrowing is structured as a delayed-draw term loan facility, Amazon can take the funds as needed. The filing states that the facility will be used for "general corporate purchases."

The new credit facility comes as Amazon Web Services (AWS), along with other hyperscalers, continues a major data center expansion. In its most recent earnings call, the company said capex for Q1 FY2026 was $43.2 billion, and that it expects to spend $200bn over the full year.

Amazon also filed for a five-part debt offering in Canada this week for up to C$14 billion (US$10bn).

The company’s recent infrastructure growth has been substantial. Throughout 2025, AWS stood up 3.8GW of data center capacity.

The latest loan adds to the funding Amazon is putting in place during a period of elevated AI-driven infrastructure spending.
