SoftBank Group Corp. has cut its planned $10 billion margin loan, backed by its stake in OpenAI, to $6 billion after some creditors expressed concerns.

The move follows hesitation from lenders who questioned the loan’s structure and the valuation of the AI venture. By trimming the amount, SoftBank signals a more conservative stance amid market volatility.

Reducing the loan size limits liquidity exposure for the conglomerate and may affect its ability to support OpenAI’s growth. Investors will watch how this adjustment impacts SoftBank’s balance sheet and its broader AI strategy.

The decision underscores the importance of creditor confidence in large tech-backed financing deals, especially when valuation swings loom.
