Amazon's move comes as so-called hyperscalers step up borrowing to fund the rapid expansion of data centres, computing capacity and other infrastructure needed to support the artificial intelligence boom.
Reuters reported that major technology companies have increasingly turned to bond markets outside the United States this year, raising funds in currencies including euros, Swiss francs and yen. The strategy allows companies to diversify their sources of financing as spending on AI infrastructure drives their funding requirements higher.
The expansion of AI-related capital expenditure has pushed large technology companies to seek financing on a broader range of debt markets, while investors have gained access to highly rated corporate issuers across multiple currencies.
