Anthropic's $63B funding hit with junk rating forecast
anthropic expected to get high junk rating after ipo, making future funding harder.
anthropic, the ai lab behind claude, is expected to receive a high junk rating from credit rating agencies following its initial public offering. according to a report, blackstone, the anchor investor in a recent $63 billion deal to finance anthropic's chips, told investors it expects a double b range rating, the top tier of speculative junk grade. a high junk rating would make it more difficult and costlier for anthropic to raise funds for its massive spending, which has worried investors.
