SoftBank Secures Record Yields on Junk Bonds to Support OpenAI Initiatives

24 Eylül 2026Japan Times

SoftBank has committed to its highest-ever yields for dollar bonds to finance its ambitions with OpenAI, amid rising Treasury rates.
SoftBank has announced that it will take on junk-bond debt at record yields, marking the highest rates it has ever committed to for dollar bonds. This decision comes amid a backdrop of soaring benchmark U.S.
Treasury rates, which have reached two-decade highs. The move is part of SoftBank's strategy to fund its ambitions related to OpenAI.
The backdrop of rising interest rates has created a challenging environment for companies seeking to raise capital. SoftBank's move to issue junk bonds suggests a willingness to accept higher costs of borrowing in exchange for the potential growth opportunities in the AI space.
SoftBank's decision to issue junk bonds at such high yields reflects both the urgency of its funding needs and the challenging market conditions. Treasury rates at their highest in twenty years, investors may be wary of the risks associated with junk bonds.
