Meta Platforms Plans Bond Issuance of Up to $25 Billion, Odaily Reports

According to Odaily, the planned debt sale could provide Meta Platforms with substantial capital through the bond market.

Fact Check
The claim that Meta Platforms planned a bond issuance of up to $25 billion is confirmed and in fact understates the outcome: the deal was completed on April 30, 2026. Reuters Japan confirms a 6-tranche, $25 billion investment-grade bond sale disclosed in regulatory filings on that date. Bloomberg (via Yahoo Finance and directly) corroborates the $25 billion figure and reports the deal attracted $96 billion in orders. The only minor nuance is that the claim uses 'plans' language, whereas the deal was actually executed and completed on April 30, 2026. The $25 billion figure is precisely accurate across all sources.
