Blackstone calls for more equity in AI infrastructure financing

At the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit, Blackstone President Jon Gray said the AI infrastructure buildout would require more equity financing as debt investors face concentration risks. Pimco CEO Emmanuel Roman warned that the scale of AI financing could be 'too much' for markets, citing about $10 trillion in AI-related capital expenditure over five years and $550 billion in AI debt issued this year. Goldman Sachs estimated $8.5 trillion in global data center spending over five years. Gray remained bullish on AI infrastructure, noting demand for computing power outpaced supply, and that spending on AI models across Blackstone's portfolio companies rose 20-fold in the past year.
