No that don’t increase Alkalinity. If you use sodium Tetraborate or Borax to get Borates those two products will raise the alkalinity and pH only at first install. That’s why you use acid to offset those during the initial install of Borates. After that they do not affect the alkalinity at all.

Borates will also increase alkalinity
