What happened

As of August 2026, financial institutions led by Morgan Stanley are preparing to distribute $15 billion in debt related to a new data center facility supporting Anthropic. The infrastructure project is specifically designed to facilitate the procurement of AI chips.

Blackstone is currently pitching this debt package, alongside separate discussions regarding a potential $36 billion financing round aimed at broader hardware requirements. The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times report that the scale of these debt instruments is intended to align with Anthropic's significant infrastructure expansion goals.

Despite the specific focus on the $15 billion data center financing, coverage indicates that the final structure of the debt, including potential upsizing to a $36 billion total, remains in the negotiation stage. Exact terms for the debt distribution process have not yet been specified.
