What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Global spending on AI compute reached approximately $360 billion last year, surpassing spending on copper by about 50%. Anthropic has been valued privately at $965 billion, and is planning to raise up to $100 billion at a valuation of about $2 trillion. Investment manager GMO warned that the large volume of new equity being issued by hyperscalers like Alphabet and Oracle to fund AI spending could trigger an AI bubble break.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

AI compute is projected to reach $2.3 trillion in transactions by 2030, a figure roughly the size of today's global crude oil trade. Major cloud providers, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, and frontier AI labs like Anthropic are making deals for billions of dollars of processing power. This massive capital requirement is leading hyperscalers to issue shares to fund AI infrastructure.

AI data center buildup is being driven by major tech companies like Microsoft and Nvidia, with SpaceX planning to deploy these centers into space.
