SoftBank Group Corp. is seeking a $10 billion loan secured by its shares in
OpenAI, as part of its AI investment strategy. The two-year margin loan, with an
option to extend, uses SoftBank’s assets as collateral. This move comes as
founder Masayoshi Son ramps up debt to strengthen his position in the global AI
market, including a recent $30 billion commitment to OpenAI. Last month,
SoftBank secured a $40 billion loan for further investments.
