Blackstone now expects Anthropic to receive a high 'junk' credit rating after IPO, FT reports
The Financial Times reports that Blackstone, anchor investor in a $63 billion deal to finance Anthropic's chips, has told investors it expects the AI lab to receive a double-B (top-tier speculative, or "junk") rating from credit agencies after its IPO. This reverses Blackstone's earlier position that Anthropic would reach investment grade before 2027. A junk rating would make it harder and costlier for Anthropic to raise the money that funds its large compute commitments, which have worried investors. The forecast is only a prediction. Anthropic and Blackstone declined to comment to TechCrunch. Anthropic officially filed to go public earlier this week. This is financial and business news with no direct cyber threat or defender action.
