Anthropic signed a six-year, $10 billion contract for cloud computing capacity with Volta Infra, a seven-month-old Nvidia-backed infrastructure startup. The deal covers capacity at a Bitdeer-operated data center in Norway with 133 MW powered by Nvidia Vera Rubin chips. Volta raised funds at a $2.4 billion valuation and is developing a pipeline exceeding 1 GW of near-term capacity across North America and Europe. This expands Anthropic’s compute access amid heavy industry spending on AI infrastructure.
