Alphabet (GOOGL.O) has mandated investment banks to work on its inaugural Australian dollar bond issue, ​according to a message sent by one of the ‌book runners and reviewed by Reuters on Monday.

The U.S. tech giant is considering issuing 3-, 5-, 10- and 20-year bonds, it said.

The message did not outline ​how much Alphabet could raise in the transaction or its ​plans with the proceeds.

Alphabet did not immediately respond to a ⁠request for comment from Reuters.

The 3- and 5-year bonds could ​be issued with fixed or floating rates, the message said, while the ​10- and 20-year bonds would be issued with fixed rates.

Alphabet raised $25 billion in dollar bonds earlier in August following an almost $85 billion equity capital raising in June.

Global tech ​companies are increasingly looking to capital markets to fund their massive ​AI spending, after having typically relied on their large cash reserves to fund investments.

The ‌firms ⁠are expected to spend more than $730 billion this year primarily on AI, and the outlay is already squeezing cash flows. Alphabet posted its first ever negative free cash flow in its second-quarter report in late July.

Local ​currency bonds are ​becoming increasingly popular among ⁠some of the world's biggest issuers as they look to diversify their reliance on dollar bond transactions.

"Kangaroo" ​bond sales from foreign issuers in Australian dollars ​are at ⁠a record high of around A$60 billion ($42 billion) so far this year, up roughly 40% from 2025, LSEG data tracking internationally placed deals to ⁠late ​July shows.

ANZ, Deutsche Bank, RBC Capital Markets ​and TD Securities are joint lead managers on the Alphabet transaction, the book runner's ​message said.
