IMAGE: Group has secured a $40 billion bridge loan to fund its growing investment in OpenAI and support general corporate needs, formalizing a borrowing plan first reported earlier this month. The unsecured facility, arranged with JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Mizuho Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and MUFG Bank, will mature in March 2027, with repayment expected through staged asset sales and other financing measures. The loan primarily finances SoftBank’s $30 billion follow-on investment in OpenAI via Vision Fund 2, part of OpenAI’s $110 billion funding round—the largest private capital raise on record—valuing the AI company at $730 billion. Upon completing the planned tranches, SoftBank’s total OpenAI stake will reach about $64.6 billion, roughly 13% ownership, though credit agencies have expressed concern over the company’s leverage and concentration risk under founder Masayoshi Son’s AI strategy.
