Amazon has started selling bonds in British pounds for the first time, adding to its existing euro and Swiss franc funding. Amazon's move follows Alphabet, which raised £5.5 billion in sterling bonds in February, including a 100-year bond. The tech industry has raised over $200 billion in debt this year, more than double last year's total, to fund AI infrastructure.
