Semafor称Meta考虑推出无投票权股份为AI投资融资,最快当日财报时公布

Meta Platforms ( META ) is considering introducing nonvoting shares to raise capital for its artificial intelligence investments without compromising Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s control, Semafor reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The plan could be announced as soon as Wednesday, when the company releases its quarterly earnings, according to the report. The proposed shares could help fund acquisitions, attract leading AI talent, and finance chip purchases. The move would mirror a strategy adopted by Alphabet ( GOOG ) in 2014, when a two-for-one stock split introduced nonvoting shares while preserving founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s combined voting control at just above 50%. Alphabet issued $85 billion in new shares earlier this year to finance AI investments, with half of the shares carrying no voting rights. Technology companies have traditionally offset new share issuance through stock buybacks. However, mounting AI investment costs have led companies to pause repurchases, increasing the risk of dilution for existing shareholders and insiders. Shares rose as much as 2.7% on Wednesday.
