Part of situation: Anthropic AI Compute & Financing Expansion (2 clusters)

Anthropic raises $71 billion in chip‑lease financing and $15 billion debt offload for Google‑backed data centre

Anthropic chip‑lease debt Google data centre Broadcom credit SPV financing

Banks led by Morgan Stanley and Blackstone are offloading about $15 billion of debt tied to an Anthropic data‑centre project backed by Google. The debt package is part of a broader effort to fund Anthropic’s expanding compute infrastructure.

In roughly 60 days Anthropic has amassed $71 billion in chip‑lease debt through special‑purpose vehicles. The structure keeps the hardware off Anthropic’s balance sheet and relies on Broadcom’s investment‑grade credit backing senior tranches, including a $35 billion June 2026 deal for Google tensor processing units. A $4.5 billion Class B tranche without Broadcom support trades at roughly an 8.5 % spread. The financing supports Anthropic’s planned October 2026 IPO, which targets a post‑money valuation of about $965 billion.
