Alphabet has entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents to sell up to $40.0 billion of its Class A and Class C stock from time to time through an At-the-Market Program (ATM Program). The proceeds of the ATM Program are primarily intended to be used to meet tax obligations associated with employee equity grants. As of June 30, 2026, the company has not sold any shares under the ATM Program.
In June 2026, Alphabet issued a combination of Class A stock, Class C stock, and mandatory convertible preferred stock. This issuance generated aggregate net proceeds of $49.6 billion. The company stated that these funds are to be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures to scale AI infrastructure and global compute.
