Broadcom Seeks $60B+ in AI Chip Debt Backed by Apollo and Blackstone, Anthropic Is the Anchor Tenant

Broadcom is in talks to raise more than $60 billion — with discussions potentially reaching $100 billion — via a special-purpose vehicle that would lease custom AI chips to Anthropic and other labs, per Bloomberg sources. Apollo and Blackstone are participating; the senior-secured tranche runs $60-70B alongside a roughly $30B junior tranche, with Broadcom guaranteeing part of the senior debt. It extends a June AI-XPV pact that already committed $35B for Anthropic compute, aiming for 20 GW of AI capacity by 2028.
