Broadcom Arranges Up to 60 Billion Dollars in AI Chip Financing for Anthropic and Other Clients
Record added
Broadcom is arranging up to 60 billion dollars in financing to help customers including Anthropic purchase AI chips, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg on October 2, 2026. Banks involved in the debt package are preparing to send syndication letters for a 42 billion dollar Class A senior-secured tranche, while Blackstone is leading an 18 billion dollar Class B junior debt tranche, committing 9 billion dollars from various funds with plans to syndicate the remainder. According to Anthropic's recent IPO filing cited by American Bazaar Online, Broadcom has agreed to lend the AI company up to 42 billion dollars to help finance infrastructure expansion, with the arrangement allowing Anthropic to lease tensor processing unit computing capacity. Anthropic has committed to spending 125.2 billion dollars over several years on TPU infrastructure through this agreement.
The financing structure mirrors a broader industry pattern of linking AI chip purchases to off-balance-sheet vehicles and guarantees. In August, Nvidia announced a partnership with six major finance firms including Blackstone to mobilize more than 500 billion dollars for AI infrastructure.
AI companies purchasing infrastructure through Broadcom face substantial capital requirements that may exceed their balance sheet capacity. The financing arrangement allows customers to lease computing capacity rather than purchasing hardware outright, though investor Steve Eisman has warned that soaring infrastructure costs give companies an incentive to move financing away from their balance sheets through special-purpose vehicles and guarantees.
