Google nears multibillion-dollar financing for Anthropic Texas data centre

March 28, 2026 · High importance · Infrastructure

Google is finalising a financing package potentially exceeding $5 billion to back Anthropic’s 500-megawatt AI data centre project in Texas run by Nexus Data Centers. The deal uses Alphabet’s credit rating to reduce borrowing costs. This matters because it represents a substantial capital commitment between two leading US frontier AI companies to scale compute infrastructure at hyperscale levels.
