Broadcom reportedly plans to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion for chip leases

Reuters reports that an Anthropic filing says Broadcom is set to lend the company up to $42 billion to lease its chips. One post says the loan could cover about a third of Anthropic’s $125.2 billion, five-year chip lease, and the debt could later convert into shares. The post also says Anthropic warned that Broadcom’s roles as lender and supplier create potential conflicts of interest.
