Blackstone in Early Talks for Second Mega Debt Round to Fund Anthropic's Google AI Chip Purchases

Blackstone Inc. is holding preliminary discussions with investors about raising a second ultra-large debt financing for Anthropic, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The funds are intended to support Anthropic's plan to purchase Google AI chips. Blackstone has floated an initial proposal of at least $36 billion. The final size, structure, and whether Blackstone will lead the transaction are still being reviewed, and details could change. The planned financing reflects a broader trend of AI companies using massive capital deployment to secure compute resources. With demand for large model training and inference rising, AI firms are exploring new financing routes to pay for expensive computing infrastructure. The talks are in their early stages, according to the report, and nothing has been finalized. If completed, this would be the second such mega debt round for Anthropic, highlighting the growing scale of capital behind AI compute acquisition.

US Treasury Raises Estimate for Net Marketable Debt Financing in Q3 2026

According to Jin10, the US Treasury expects privately held net marketable debt financing to reach $739 billion in the July-to-September quarter of 2026, based on an assumed cash balance of $950 billion at the end of September. The estimate is $68 billion higher than the figure released in May, with the change mainly tied to lower expected net cash inflows. The Treasury also said it expects to borrow $628 billion in the October-to-December quarter of 2026, assuming a cash balance of $850 billion at the end of December. The update lays out the government’s latest quarterly financing projections and the cash balance assumptions attached to those figures.

Crypto funding and M&A reached $12.86 billion in Q2, with debt financing the second-largest source

Crypto industry funding and M&A activity totaled $12.86 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up about 45% from $8.87 billion in the first quarter, according to Odaily. The tally covered 271 completed deals. Venture capital remained the largest category at $4.99 billion, accounting for 39% of the total across 218 rounds. Debt financing ranked second at $4.36 billion, though it came from only nine transactions. Odaily said that figure was more than triple the previous quarter. A single $3.65 billion financing by IREN made up 84% of all debt financing in the quarter. Separately, merger and acquisition activity reached $3.33 billion across 40 deals. The data also pointed to a concentrated market. The 10 largest transactions represented 67% of disclosed funding, indicating that capital raising in the crypto sector remained heavily skewed toward a small number of large deals.

Galaxy ties $3.5 billion CoreWeave data center financing to on-time delivery in Texas

Galaxy Digital has raised $3.5 billion for the data center it is building for CoreWeave in Texas, using senior secured notes priced on July 23 with a 9.875% coupon. At that rate, the financing carries roughly $346 million in annual interest, with cash payments set for Feb. 1 and Aug. 1 starting in 2027. The deal is expected to close on July 28, and the notes mature on Aug. 1, 2031. The proceeds will fund part of the buildout of eight data halls across two buildings at the Helios campus, a project planned for 400 megawatts of utility capacity and 260 megawatts of critical IT capacity. Some of the money will also go to debt service reserves. A key feature of the structure is timing: interest begins on a fixed schedule, but principal repayment does not start until at least 10 months after project completion. Galaxy said Phase 1 was completed on time, while delivery of Phase 2 data halls is expected to begin in the first half of 2027. That leaves execution on the construction timeline at the center of both the CoreWeave agreement and Galaxy’s debt obligations through 2031.

Ripple Prime secures $200 million debt financing as it builds blockchain-based market infrastructure

Ripple Prime said it is building what it describes as a blockchain-based “Wall Street 2.0” infrastructure as trading shifts toward a 24/7 model. Michael Higgins, the company’s international chief executive officer, said the firm uses its acquisition of Hidden Road and the RLUSD stablecoin to offer around-the-clock collateral management for institutional clients. The company added that revenue has tripled year over year since its October acquisition of Hidden Road. It also recently secured $200 million in debt financing, which it said will be used to expand its institutional margin financing capacity. Ripple Prime said its technology stack can connect digital asset platforms, foreign exchange liquidity pools, and traditional exchanges through a unified setup, which it described as more adaptable than the model used by traditional investment banks. The update was carried by Techub News and attributed to U.Today.

The facility is backed by deployed GPU infrastructure and cash flow from investment-grade customer contracts, according to BlockBeats.
