Broadcom is reportedly seeking more than $60 billion in a new debt deal tied to its AI ambitions, underscoring how capital-intensive the infrastructure race has become. The company already sits at a critical junction of custom silicon, networking and enterprise infrastructure, and AI demand is pushing balance sheets as hard as engineering teams. A financing package above $60 billion would rank among the largest corporate debt moves associated with the AI buildout, reflecting expectations that hyperscalers and enterprise customers will keep spending heavily on accelerators, interconnects and data-center systems. It also shows AI competition is increasingly fought with financial engineering as well as chips.
