Meta Weighs Chipmaker Stakes in $35 Billion Share Sale

Meta could bring some of the biggest names in chipmaking onto its shareholder list. Reports indicate that Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom are candidates to buy Meta shares as part of a $35 billion stock offering.

That offering is one piece of a larger plan. Meta is looking to raise $95 billion in total through stock-related transactions, with deals stretching into early next year. Taken together, the effort would rank among the most ambitious equity fundraisings by a major technology company in recent years.

The chip suppliers stand out because of their place in Meta's spending. The company has been one of the heaviest investors in AI data centers, and its dependence on graphics processors and networking hardware makes those vendors central to its buildout. A stake from a supplier would link the financing more closely to the hardware it pays for.

Key terms remain unclear. The source material does not spell out pricing, how much each potential buyer might take, or whether the arrangements are final. Those details will determine how the deals are read by investors, and they could change before anything is confirmed.
