Anthropic's Chip Plan Would Offer Blackstone Funds Yields Above 10%

Anthropic's proposed chip-financing package would offer Blackstone funds yields above 10%, while testing investor demand for debt tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure at a $60 billion scale. The plan, called Project North Star, would support Anthropic's procurement of about 1.5 gigawatts of custom semiconductors developed by Google. The chips are TPUs. Blackstone funds would invest $9 billion in debt backed by Anthropic's chip lease payments over five years. That amount would represent half of an $18 billion subordinated-loan tranche in the broader financing. The $9 billion commitment applies to that $18 billion slice, not the entire $60 billion package.
