Reuters reports Wall Street banks and Blackstone lined up $63B to finance Broadcom AI chips for Anthropic. Wall St Engine relays details: it covers roughly 1.7GW of planned compute with deliveries from 2027; a separate vehicle buys Broadcom hardware and leases it to Anthropic, with BofA, Citi and Morgan Stanley arranging senior debt and Blackstone the second lien. UBS says Broadcom is neither lender nor borrower but provides residual-value support on about 72.5% (~$46B) for a fee; StoneX says it finances already-planned 2027 compute rather than a wholly new order. Analyst views are relayed.
