Broadcom's Anthropic chip financing closes at $60 billion or more
Why I called it
The reported structure is already specific: a near $30 billion, Blackstone and Apollo at the table, Broadcom guaranteeing part of the senior debt, and a June agreement to fund more than 20 gigawatts of Anthropic compute by 2028 that needs exactly this money. Private credit has more committed capital than eligible AI deals, and every comparable mega-financing this year has closed larger than first reported, not smaller. The call fails if credit spreads widen enough to make the guarantee expensive, or if Anthropic's own IPO changes how it wants to fund compute.
The call, in full. Broadcom and its lenders close a debt package of at least $60 billion tied to AI chip financing for Anthropic and other customers by June 30th 2027.
Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if on or before 2027-06-30 Broadcom, a participating lender, or at least two established outlets confirm the closing (not merely talks) of debt financing totaling $60 billion or more arranged by or with Broadcom to finance AI chip supply for Anthropic and/or other customers, whether in one deal or explicitly linked tranches. RESOLVES WRONG otherwise.
The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
