summary: "Meta has filed for a mixed securities shelf offering of undisclosed size after disclosing a need to raise hundreds of billions of dollars over several years beginning as early as fall 2026. The filing involves a new Class C nonvoting share class that would distribute one nonvoting share for each existing Class A or Class B share, allowing the company to raise capital for AI infrastructure, acquisitions, and employee pay without reducing CEO Mark Zuckerberg's voting control below 50%."
