The banks were among the joint placement agents on a $24 billion tranche of the overall debt package.\n\nRepresentatives for Bank of America and Morgan Stanley declined to comment.\n\nApollo Global Management Inc. has also been marketing the debt to institutional investors, other people said on the condition of anonymity. The company had arranged the $35 billion financing package for the borrower, working with Blackstone Inc. The borrower is a special purpose vehicle that buys custom chips developed by Google and Broadcom, and leases them out to Anthropic. Representatives for Apollo and Blackstone declined to comment.\n\nThe bonds were being offered between about 100 cents and 100.5 cents on the dollar, according to some of the bank quotes for the trade seen by Bloomberg.\n\nThe debt deal reflects how financing for the artificial intelligence buildout spans public and private credit markets — or a mixture of the two — as capital spending shows no signs of abating and tech companies race to expand their AI footprint.\n\nThe transaction uses a delayed draw format, where the borrower can draw on the money raised when it needs it, in about 16 separate releases over more than a year as the chips become available.\n\nOnce parts of the debt are drawn, they can be traded in the 144a market, which is where qualified investors including insurers and mutual funds can buy and sell debt securities, sources have previously said.\n\nApollo launched its trading operation in late 2024 and has been poaching from Wall Street banks to bolster the effort. The firm traded $15 billion of private assets through the end of the first quarter.\n\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-of-35-billion-ai-chip-deal", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-220404436.html", "published_at": "2026-07-22 22:04:04+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-23 02:23:18.827223+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["Broadcom Inc.", "Anthropic PBC", "Bank of America Corp.", "Morgan Stanley", "Apollo Global Management Inc.", "Blackstone Inc.", "Google"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-of-35-billion-ai-chip-deal", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-of-35-billion-ai-chip-deal.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-of-35-billion-ai-chip-deal.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/wall-street-banks-trading-parts-of-35-billion-ai-chip-deal.jsonld"}}
