Broadcom's up-to-$42B loan to Anthropic, explained

Broadcom may lend Anthropic up to $42 billion, per Anthropic's IPO prospectus (reported 1 Oct 2026).

→ Convertible notes that could turn into Anthropic shares
→ Covers about one-third of the $125.2B Anthropic pledged for 5 years of TPU compute
→ Broadcom can bring in a financing partner; no notes expected before the IPO
→ The prospectus flags "potential conflicts of interest": Broadcom is both supplier and lender

Chipmakers are now financing their own buyers. My take for builders: stay model-agnostic.
