This is the first time details of Anthropic's involvement in the related large-scale data center financing plan have been disclosed, further revealing the complex ecosystem of mutual investment, procurement, and guarantees among large tech companies in the current AI industry chain. Anthropic is the developer of the well-known large model Claude and is one of the main competitors of OpenAI. Google is one of Anthropic's earliest investors and has been continuously increasing its stake in recent years. Earlier this year, Google also announced an additional $10 billion investment in Anthropic. In the latest transaction, Google's role is not only as an investor but also as an important credit support for the entire financing structure. Informed sources indicated that Anthropic will deploy computing facilities in five large data centers in the United States, with chips sourced from Google's self-developed TPU AI accelerators. To help the project secure financing, Google has agreed to guarantee lease payments for these data centers. According to the agreement, if Fluidstack, the AI cloud computing platform responsible for operating the data center leasing business, defaults or goes bankrupt, Google will assume the related payment obligations, thereby protecting the interests of bond investors. Market participants pointed out that this is equivalent to leveraging Google's strong balance sheet and credit rating to support Anthropic in obtaining long-term low-cost financing. **Google, Broadcom, and Anthropic form an AI "Iron Triangle"** In fact, a complete AI industry chain has formed behind this financing plan. Broadcom (AVGO.US) is responsible for participating in the design of TPU chips; Google is responsible for chip development and providing credit support; and Anthropic, as the final computing demand party, uses these chips to train and run the Claude model. Meanwhile, Apollo Global Management (APO.US) and Blackstone Group (BX.US) are responsible for providing funding support for the project. Analysts believe that this structure reflects the current evolution of the AI industry from simple large model competition to a full industry chain competition encompassing chips, data centers, electricity, financing, and cloud computing services. As the demand for computing power continues to explode, major tech companies are competing for future AI infrastructure resources through equity investments, long-term procurement agreements, lease guarantees, and joint financing. **Five Data Centers Come to Light** Informed sources revealed that the five data centers receiving financing support from Anthropic are all located within the United States. TeraWulf (TWLF.US) is responsible for constructing the data center at the Lake Mariner site near Buffalo, New York, as well as the Abernathy project in Texas; Cipher Digital (CIFR.US) is responsible for developing the Colorado City project in Texas; Hut 8 (HUT.US) is responsible for the data center in St. Francisville, Louisiana; the joint venture between Next Frontier and Fluidstack is responsible for the project in Sullivan County, Indiana. In the past nine months, the aforementioned projects have cumulatively issued over $15 billion in bonds for the construction of data centers, all of which include a guarantee mechanism provided by Google. It is noteworthy that these data centers provide computing power services to Anthropic through Fluidstack. In November last year, Anthropic announced plans to invest $50 billion in the United States to build artificial intelligence infrastructure and stated that it would collaborate with Fluidstack to construct a network of data centers specifically tailored for the Claude model. The financing structure revealed this time further uncovers the capital operation details behind this plan. **AI Arms Race Drives Deep Binding Among Tech Giants** In fact, this is not the only recent exposure of large tech company collaborations. Just last week, SpaceX disclosed that Google agreed to pay approximately $920 million per month for its computing resources from October 2026 to June 2029. More similar transactions are emerging. Joe Allen, head of capital markets at Bright Meadow, stated that a year ago, the market was still concerned about whether the AI industry really needed such a massive infrastructure investment, but now the situation is completely the opposite. "The real question is no longer whether demand exists, but whether the available infrastructure is sufficient." Allen stated, "Companies are going to great lengths to ensure they secure future computing resources." However, as the connections between tech giants become increasingly tight, regulatory scrutiny is also on the rise. As early as 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into the collaborative and investment relationships among AI companies, aiming to assess whether there is excessive concentration in the industry and potential systemic risks. Some market participants are concerned that if major industry players hold shares in each other, procure from one another, and share financing responsibilities, any issues in a key link could quickly spread risks throughout the entire ecosystem. In response, Christina Minnis, head of alternative asset financing at Goldman Sachs Group (GS.US), stated that while there is indeed a certain concentration in the AI infrastructure sector, the overall ecosystem is continuously expanding. "We are encountering more and more companies that have never collaborated before entering the AI industry chain," Minnis stated. "This diffusion is driving more capital, more companies, and more innovation into the entire economic system." ### Related Stocks - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [AVGO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGO.US.md) - [ANTH.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANTH.NA.md) - [AVGW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGW.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [GGLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLS.US.md) - [GOOW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOW.US.md) - [GOOY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOY.US.md) - [AVGG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGG.US.md) - [AVGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGX.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [AVGU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGU.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [GGLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [OpenAI.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [APO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APO.US.md) - [BX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BX.US.md) - [CIFR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CIFR.US.md) - [HUT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HUT.US.md) - [GS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS.US.md) - [APO-A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APO-A.US.md) - [APOS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APOS.US.md) - [W4VR.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/W4VR.SG.md) ## Related News & Research - [Google just fired a warning shot in the AI subscription price wars](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289250717.md) - [IBM shares hit record highs after $350 analyst target and Google Cloud AI pact](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288751014.md) - [Google DeepMind economist sees no AI jobs bloodbath yet, but warns of a layoff cascade](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289293254.md) - [Meta Delays New AI Model Again — What It Could Mean for Investors](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288678053.md) - [Broadcom (AVGO) Stock Is Soaring Today Ahead of June 3 Earnings.
