Citrini Research: Hyperscalers' Bond Issuance in 2027-2028 Will Exceed Expectations by Twofold
Citrini Research states that the bond issuance by hyperscalers in 2027-2028 will exceed current expectations by two times, primarily for the construction of AI data centers.
In 2026, AI-related debt issuance is expected to be nearly $570 billion, with capital expenditures exceeding $600 billion, shifting from cash reserves to bond market financing.

Citrini Research previously released a series of AI doomsday reports, and this forecast highlights the financing pressure for AI infrastructure, similar to the historical capital expenditure cycles of hyperscalers.
On the capital path, the surge in bond issuance drives funds in the bond market towards AI data centers, concentrating resources on energy, cooling, and chip supply chains.
Similar to the early infrastructure investment wave in cloud computing, AI is currently at the beginning of large-scale data center construction and financing transformation.
Essentially, this represents capital concentration: massive bond issuance supports the expansion of AI computing power, with capital shifting from traditional sectors to hyperscalers and AI infrastructure, driving the restructuring of the global data center industry chain and rebalancing energy demand.
