According to Bloomberg, SoftBank is close to inking the deal with lenders for a margin loan, backed by stocks of its chip unit Arm Holdings Plc as collateral.
The bank’s earning statement revealed that SoftBank cashed in $13.5 billion in margin loans from Arm shares as of March 2025, with $5 billion still yet to be drawn.
In 2025, SoftBank Group established a $15 billion one-year facility to pour into US AI investments.
