Nvidia mulls billions in debt guarantees for Nscale's Anthropic data center
nvidia considers guaranteeing debt financing for nscale's west virginia ai data center, a project backed by a $44.6 billion anthropic contract.
nvidia is considering a residual value guarantee for nscale's west virginia data center, which would involve co-signing a customer's loans and taking over the facility if nscale defaults on construction payments. the project includes a 460-megawatt building expected to use nvidia's vera rubin chips and has a $44.6 billion contract with anthropic. nscale is seeking to go public at a valuation of up to $35 billion despite concerns about its ability to deliver on ambitious data center projects. nvidia has already committed $1 billion in convertible financing to nscale and has extended roughly $170 billion in investments and credit support to neo-clouds and large customers.
