SOFTBANK TO REPAY $25.9B REMAINING ON $40B OPENAI BRIDGE LOAN SoftBank plans to repay the outstanding balance on Sept. 15, months ahead of its March 2027 maturity, as it shifts the financing behind its OpenAI investment toward longer-term debt. The company is considering a $10B-$20B global junk-bond sale and has already secured a $10B margin loan backed by its OpenAI stake. SoftBank has raised roughly $25B this year through bonds and margin financing as Masayoshi Son continues to increase the groupā€™s exposure to AI. Source: Bloomberg 09-SEP-2026 05:16 AM ET
