Anthropic is pursuing $63 billion in chip financing, including $18 billion of subordinated debt backed by lease payments.

Financial_Express reports that Anthropic is advancing a $63 billion chip-financing transaction, including $18 billion of subordinated debt supported by its lease payments. The report does not establish that the financing has closed or that the full amount has been committed.
The same message reports that Blackstone told investors Anthropic might not immediately obtain an investment-grade credit rating after an initial public offering, with a rating potentially in the BB range. This is Blackstone’s reported assessment—not an assigned credit rating—and differs from its earlier expectation of investment-grade status before year-end.
Separate messages describe Anthropic’s IPO documents as disclosing nearly $900 billion in future obligations involving servers, buildings, electricity, data centers, and graphics processing units (GPUs). These are reported future lease and purchase obligations, not a statement that Anthropic currently carries $900 billion of balance-sheet debt; the underlying filing is not included in the source package.
The sources do not establish how those future obligations overlap with the chip-financing transaction, so the figures should not be added together. Interest rates, maturities, lender commitments, detailed collateral rights, conversion provisions, and potential equity dilution are not supplied.
