Wall Street banks and Blackstone lined up $63 billion to finance Broadcom AI chips for Anthropic, CNA reported, as the AI company's IPO filing laid out its enormous costs. Pimco bought a $4 billion slice of a huge SpaceX financing deal to expand its AI ambitions, and Blackstone-backed data-center operator QTS sought about $800 million in private placement debt. Anthropic warned it may need more financing sooner than expected while saying little about a path to an investment-grade rating.

Why it matters:AI companies are tapping every corner of global credit markets, tying the tech boom to bank and bond exposure.
