Anthropic has finalized a $9.1 billion, 20-year data center lease with Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms, securing 191 megawatts of power at Riot’s Rockdale, Texas campus. Extension options could push the total value of the deal to $16.1 billion, with the first capacity due online in December 2027. The agreement adds to Anthropic’s broader infrastructure buildout, which already includes commitments with SpaceX, Amazon, and Google.
