Anthropic could receive up to $42 billion in Broadcom financing, Reuters reports
Reuters reported on October 1 that Anthropic's confidential IPO prospectus describes up to $42 billion in conditional financing from Broadcom through convertible notes. The financing is tied to a separate five-year lease for $125.2 billion in computing capacity that uses Google's tensor processing units.

Broadcom had already disclosed the financing ceiling for an unnamed customer in a public filing. Reuters identified that customer as Anthropic and reported the terms in the prospectus. Anthropic expects no note sales before its IPO.
The ceiling is not money already lent. Reuters reports that some defaults could accelerate lease payments or limit access to the financing. Broadcom did not comment, and Anthropic declined to comment.
A public prospectus and any issued notes would show which terms remain conditional and how much Anthropic borrows.
