Broadcom CEO Hock Tan reportedly intervened to seal $63 billion Anthropic debt deal

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan intervened to seal a $63 billion debt deal for Anthropic, The Wall Street Journal reported. The deal was announced Oct. 26, 2026, according to the Journal.

Tan had spent nearly two months trying to get banks to commit more than $40 billion, the Journal reported. It described the financing as the largest artificial-intelligence debt deal ever and said it was meant to let Anthropic lease specialized chips Broadcom is developing with Google. The bank figure describes what Tan sought, not a confirmed amount committed.
