According to Bloomberg, two-year-old AI infrastructure firm Global AI has secured $441 million in debt financing led by JPMorgan Chase to meet surging demand for AI data centers. JPMorgan arranged the credit facility, with other unnamed lenders also participating. Founded in 2024 by a team of veteran tech industry professionals, Global AI specializes in providing safer, lower-cost AI infrastructure for private enterprises and sovereign nations. As costs for AI chips and data center construction keep rising, more tech companies are turning to both venture capital and debt financing to raise funds. Global AI CEO Sami Issa said the company currently holds $6.2 billion in contracted revenue, with $1 billion of that tied to projects already built and delivered to clients. The firm projects it will have 1 gigawatt (GW) of available computing capacity by 2029, enough to power up to around 750,000 American households simultaneously.

According to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter revealed that Intel is seeking to raise the size of its current stock offering from the previously planned $15 billion to around $20 billion, an increase of roughly one-third. The offering price is expected to be around $95 per share or higher, which would represent a roughly 6.5% discount to last Friday’s closing price. People familiar with the matter added that the offering has already received over $100 billion in subscription demand. If underwriters exercise the overallotment option, the final fundraising size could significantly exceed $20 billion. However, relevant discussions are still ongoing, and the offering size and pricing remain subject to change. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are participating in the offering. Intel’s shares fell 4.1% during regular trading hours on Monday, and were roughly flat in after-hours trading; the stock has still gained around 164% year-to-date. Bloomberg noted that this year’s largest U.S. stock financings have come mostly from companies benefiting from rising AI spending. Alphabet is raising up to $85 billion via public offerings and equity-linked transactions, while Oracle also plans to raise $20 billion through public offerings.

According to a Bloomberg report, people familiar with the matter revealed that OpenAI has completed an employee stock repurchase deal, helping current and former staff sell approximately $70 billion worth of the company’s shares as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO). Two sources familiar with the matter said the tender offer sees OpenAI itself repurchase employee shares, rather than bringing in external investors to buy them as was the case in previous transactions. The deal values OpenAI at $852 billion, matching the valuation from the company’s latest funding round. OpenAI declined to comment. In the past, OpenAI has offered employees opportunities to sell shares via investors including Thrive Capital and SoftBank Group. In March this year, the company raised $122 billion from major tech firms and venture capital institutions, and in June it announced it had confidentially filed documents related to its IPO. Meanwhile, OpenAI has been in fierce competition with Anthropic throughout this year. Bloomberg noted that Anthropic has recently gained strong momentum in the AI software sector, with a valuation higher than OpenAI’s, and may go public earlier than its rival.

Earlier, Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition jointly terminated the proposed business combination to form the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy.

US President Trump said Monday he has only had one "brief" conversation with Federal Reserve Chair Walsh since Walsh took office, denying claims that the two communicate frequently. White House National Economic Council Director Hassett said last week the pair "often discuss economic issues," but other sources familiar with the matter said their calls are irregular and infrequent. Earlier reports noted that since Walsh was confirmed as Fed Chair in May, Trump has held multiple communications with him, with Trump asking Walsh about his forecasts and views on the economic outlook. Trump again reiterated his stance of wanting to lower interest rates, but said he "fully supports" Walsh, emphasizing that Federal Reserve policy is jointly decided by the Board of Governors.
