The largest tech companies are spending historic sums on data centers and chips with a similar logic. Anthropic has made relatively few splashy partnerships for data center project compared to rival OpenAI, which launched its Stargate infrastructure joint venture. In 2025, Anthropic, which is prepping for a closely watched public listing, said it would spend $50 billion on custom data centers in several US locations, including Texas and New York. The company recently obtained a $35 billion loan to lease computer chips at five data centers, thanks to a backstop from Google.
