SoftBank's Son pitches $1 trillion Arizona AI hub, Bloomberg News reports
SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son is envisaging setting up a $1 trillion industrial complex in Arizona that will build robots and artificial intelligence, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Son is seeking to team up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for the project, which is aimed at bringing back high-end tech manufacturing to the U.S. and to create a version of China's vast manufacturing hub of Shenzhen, the report said. SoftBank officials have spoken with U.S. federal and state government officials to discuss possible tax breaks for companies building factories or otherwise investing in the industrial park, including talks with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, the report said. SoftBank is keen to have TSMC involved in the project, codenamed Project Crystal Land, but it is not clear in what capacity, the report said. It is also unclear whether the Taiwanese company would be interested, it said. TSMC is already building chipmaking factories in the U.S. with a planned investment of $165 billion. Son is also sounding out interest among tech companies, including Samsung Electronics, the report said. The plans are preliminary and feasibility depends on support from the Trump administration and state officials, it said. A commitment of $1 trillion would be double that of the $500 billion "Stargate" project, which seeks to build out data centre capacity across the U.S., with funding from SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle. SoftBank and TSMC declined to comment. The White House and U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The proposed scheme follows a series of big investment announcements SoftBank has made this year. In March, it announced it would acquire U.S. semiconductor design company Ampere for $6.5 billion and in April, it said it would underwrite up to $40 billion of new investment in OpenAI, of which up to $10 billion would be syndicated to other investors. This week SoftBank raised $4.8 billion from a sale of shares in T-Mobile.

SoftBank Just Cashed Out $4.8B -- Here's Where Masayoshi Son Is Putting the Money Next
SoftBank (SFTBF) has just raised $4.8 billion by selling 21.5 million shares of T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) at $224 apiece pricing at the low end of the $224$228 range and marking a 3% discount to Monday's close. It's the biggest U.S. block trade since TD Bank's $13.1 billion Schwab selloff earlier this year. T-Mobile shares dropped 3.8% in early trading, while SoftBank's U.S.-listed shares nudged up about 1%. The stake sold accounts for roughly 1.9% of T-Mobile's outstanding shares, trimming down SoftBank's holdings from 85.4 million as of March 31. Bank of America was the sole bookrunner on the deal. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with TMUS. This isn't just portfolio trimming it's Masayoshi Son playing long ball in AI. The SoftBank founder is reportedly eyeing up to $30 billion in OpenAI and helping bankroll Stargate, a global hyperscale data center project that could exceed $500 billion. Originally planned as a debt-heavy venture, the financing hit snags due to U.S. tariff uncertainties. Bloomberg Intelligence suggests this recent sale could shave 12 percentage points off SoftBank's loan-to-value ratio. But with Son potentially targeting $40 billion across OpenAI, Stargate, and a possible Ampere Computing deal, analysts believe SoftBank may need to raise another $10 billion to avoid slipping past a 30% LTV downgrade trigger. SoftBank originally acquired the T-Mobile stake in 2020 through the $26.5 billion Sprint merger, then sold down significantly to fund a record stock buyback that same year. While Deutsche Telekom remains T-Mobile's largest shareholder at 59% including shares SoftBank has pledged to vote under its direction this latest exit signals another chapter in Son's playbook: recycle old wins to fund new bets. If the Stargate project and OpenAI partnership materialize as planned, this might be just the opening act in SoftBank's next AI supercycle. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
