SoftBank Group secured an $11.87 billion two-year loan from roughly 20 banks to help fund its expanding investment in OpenAI, and said it would repay the remaining $25.9 billion balance on a separate $40 billion bridge facility by September 15, ahead of its original March maturity. The conglomerate has raised roughly $37 billion in debt this year to support a total planned investment of nearly $65 billion in OpenAI by October, and is also exploring a $10-20 billion high-yield bond sale.
