Morgan Stanley Leads $15B Financing for Anthropic Texas Data Center Park

Morgan Stanley heads $15B financing for Nexus Data Centers' Texas AI park leased by Anthropic. Google guarantees obligations via credit rating, securing 20% equity in infrastructure.

Woofun AI reports that Morgan Stanley is leading a $15 billion financing package for the construction of an AI data center park in Hubbard, Texas, to be leased by Anthropic. The financing entity is Nexus Data Centers, not Anthropic directly.

Google will utilize its investment-grade credit rating to guarantee Anthropic’s leasing obligations and energy agreements, covering four data center projects and a power purchase agreement for a 1.6 GW natural gas plant. In return, Google is expected to acquire approximately 20% equity in the data center and energy assets.
