- Google assembled a ~$200B financing program for Anthropic, with $150B+ specifically tied to its TPU chips
- The deal involves Broadcom, Blackstone, and Apollo alongside other unnamed parties, and is underwritten by private credit, chip leases, and data centre guarantees
Why it matters: By tying more than $150B of a ~$200B package to its own TPUs, Google is not just funding Anthropic but locking in chip demand and cloud revenue, while giving Broadcom, Blackstone, and Apollo a template for financing AI compute at unprecedented scale.
