Broadcom (AVGO.O) is negotiating with lenders to raise more than $60bn of debt
to finance an AI‑chip transaction that would benefit Anthropic and other AI
firms, people familiar with the matter said. The package, still being finalised,
could include a roughly $30bn subordinated tranche; under the proposal Broadcom
would guarantee part of the secured debt—potentially $60–70bn—with the total
programme possibly reaching about $100bn. The agreement would accelerate AI
infrastructure financing as Broadcom seeks to expand chip and data‑centre
equipment sales to challenge NVIDIA.
