The financing reflects surging demand for capital tied to data centers, semiconductors, and AI infrastructure as tech firms race to support next‑generation models. Structured across three tranches, the package includes senior notes backed by Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), which helped secure investment‑grade ratings and lower borrowing costs.

A special‑purpose vehicle will purchase the chips using debt and equity, then lease them to Anthropic. Lease payments will service the debt, a model increasingly used to finance AI assets. The senior tranches included $6 billion A1 notes and $24 billion A2 notes, while a separate $4.5 billion B tranche carried an 8.5% coupon.

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan confirmed collaboration on the AI XPV platform, aiming to deploy 20 GW of compute capacity by 2028. The financing follows Anthropic’s confidential U.S. IPO filing and a recent funding round.

Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) is the world’s largest alternative asset manager, overseeing over $1.3 trillion in total assets. The firm invests on behalf of institutional and individual investors by acquiring, building, and managing businesses across multiple asset classes to generate long-term financial returns.
