Anthropic assigned highest junk credit rating in June

Anthropic received its first credit rating in June, and it landed in the highest tier of speculative-grade, or "junk", territory. S&P reportedly rated the AI company BB-, well below investment grade, despite its multibillion-dollar fundraising and rapid growth. The rating highlights how heavily loss-making AI firms still depend on debt and equity markets to fund enormous computing costs.

Why now: The Financial Times report underscores investor concerns that even leading AI startups carry deep financial risk despite booming valuations.
