Anthropic offers Blackstone double-digit yield in chip financing deal
Original: Anthropic offers Blackstone double-digit yield in latest chip financing
Anthropic is raising money to fund its computing capacity, offering Blackstone a double-digit yield on financing tied to semiconductor purchases. The deal is the latest example of AI companies turning to private credit to bankroll the expensive chips their systems require. It highlights how the race for AI infrastructure is drawing in large asset managers and pushing borrowing costs to unusually high levels.
Why now: It signals how far AI firms will go, and pay, to secure scarce computing hardware, raising questions about the scale of debt funding the AI boom.
