TLDR
One post says SoftBank raised $11.1 billion through dollar- and euro-denominated bonds, primarily to fund its next $10 billion OpenAI investment, expected to close in October 2026. Another post estimates that disclosed dollar-bond coupons alone imply roughly $941 million in annual interest. It argues that the financing could become a weak point even if OpenAI keeps growing.
