CoinMeta data: 72% of eurozone companies plan to invest in artificial intelligence with their own funds, with only 1% planning to issue debt securities. A survey by the European Central Bank shows that among 5,087 eurozone companies, 72% expect to use internal funds, including cash flow and retained earnings. Bank loans and subsidies each account for 16%, leasing accounts for 15%, private equity or venture capital accounts for 6%, and debt securities account for only 1%. This financing mix is noteworthy as the global AI craze increasingly relies on substantial external funds. In contrast, Europe seems to be adopting a more internally funded approach. The survey results show that nearly three-quarters of companies are choosing internal financing, with external sources playing a secondary role. Another 18% of companies have not chosen any financing option, indicating that some firms have not yet decided how to finance their AI plans. The investment focus is not limited to purchasing GPU; it is expected that 49% of companies will spend on AI technologies and tools, 46% on employee training, 40% on data and infrastructure, and only 12% on hiring AI experts. The European Central Bank believes that reliance on internal cash may limit companies' ability to rapidly expand their AI.
