Banks prepare to offload $15 billion tied to an Anthropic data center
The Financial Times reports that banks are preparing a roughly $15 billion bond sale linked to a Google-backed Anthropic data-center project. Moving the exposure to bond investors could free bank balance sheets for more lending as enormous AI deals stretch Wall Street’s capacity. The transaction shows how AI infrastructure is moving beyond technology-company spending into a wider chain of debt, guarantees, leases, and capital-market investors. That can unlock construction at extraordinary scale, but it also spreads the consequences if utilization, model revenue, power delivery, or tenant commitments fall short. The safety question is financial as well as technical: who ultimately holds the risk when growth assumptions change?
