Banks and Blackstone announce $63 billion financing for Anthropic AI capacity
Four financial firms announced $63 billion in financing to expand Anthropic’s computing capacity for artificial intelligence.
Bank of America, Citi and Morgan Stanley will provide the senior secured financing, while Blackstone will provide the second-level secured portion.

The equipment will be leased to Anthropic, rather than bought directly by the AI company.
Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
