Nvidia negotiates guarantee of over $5B construction debt for Nscale's Anthropic data center
Overview
Nvidia is negotiating to guarantee likely more than $5 billion in construction debt for Nscale's 460MW data center in West Virginia that is leased to Anthropic, according to The Information, as reported by Rohan Paul on X. The deal is unsigned.
The guarantee would back the building's value rather than the lease or the chips, which would let Nscale borrow at investment-grade terms.
Under the terms reported, if Nscale missed construction payments, Nvidia would cover them, operate the site temporarily, and arrange a sale and re-lease.
