Apollo and Blackstone Provide Anthropic $35B Loan
Apollo and Blackstone have committed a $35 billion private financing package to AI developer Anthropic, one of the largest private credit deals reported.

The financing is structured in risk tranches: a senior portion backed by Broadcom (as a form of credit support) and a lower tranche with higher returns for investors if Anthropic’s payments hold. The Financial Times reported the deal; manager magazin published details on June 9, 2026. The transaction is presented as a potential blueprint for future AI‑infrastructure financings amid rising capital needs in the AI sector.
