About AIInvestmentGrade
OpenAI and Anthropic are moving financing beyond equity into credit. Per the FT, Goldman and Morgan Stanley have approached rating agencies on both companies behalf, targeting investment-grade ratings post-IPO. Neither has issued debt yet. Anthropic is reportedly near a $15B revolving credit facility and an IPO at roughly $2T. OpenAI wants independent long-term funding for chip, data center and compute spend. A rating opens the bond market and cuts reliance on equity raises and partner credit.

#AIInvestmentGrade AI's next big funding source may be the bond market 👀
OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly pursuing investment-grade ratings, potentially opening access to cheaper, longer-term debt for massive compute and data center spending.
What caught my attention is what this says about AI's evolution.
The industry was funded by venture capital, then strategic partners. Now it wants bonds.
AI isn't just becoming a technology sector. It's becoming a new credit market.
Anthropics AI-Geschichte wird größer — aber 208 $ ist das Niveau, das ich beobachten würde
Die Geschichte von Anthropic wird immer stärker, aber ich würde nicht nur der Schlagzeile hinterherjagen. Anthropic hat kürzlich Claude mit neuen Frontier-Modellen erweitert, während die Ausgaben für die KI-Infrastruktur beschleunigen. Das Unternehmen hat Berichten zufolge auch einen Cloud-Vertrag über 35 Mrd. $ mit dem von Nvidia unterstützten Lambda unterzeichnet, während es sich auf einen möglichen Börsengang vorbereitet. Hier ist der interessante Teil: Wachstum dreht sich nicht mehr nur um bessere Modelle – es geht darum, wie viel Rechenleistung Anthropic sichern kann, um diese zu monetarisieren. Bei deinem genannten Kurs von 208,01 $ würde ich es so behandeln
An investment-grade rating would change how AI expansion is financed, not prove that the economics work.
OpenAI and Anthropic are seeking ratings that could open bond markets, though neither has issued debt yet. My read: broader funding options could ease reliance on equity, but borrowing would make the timing of cash flows more consequential for compute-heavy growth.

OpenAI与Anthropic筹备信用评级
OpenAI just launched the financial services version of ChatGPT (using GPT-6 Astra), and immediately teamed up with Anthropic to prepare a credit rating, targeting the $11 trillion corporate bond market. AI wants to both make money and borrow heavily to build infrastructure

AI stiehlt wieder die Show #OpenAI与Anthropic筹备信用评级
OpenAI hat gerade die Finanzdienstleistungs-Version von ChatGPT (mit GPT-6 Astra) eingeführt und arbeitet nun zusammen mit Anthropic an einer Kreditbewertung, mit dem Ziel des 11-Billionen-Unternehmensanleihemarkts. AI will sowohl Geld verdienen als auch massiv Geld leihen, um Infrastruktur aufzubauen.
Schauen wir uns unsere $BTC und $ETH an, die eher schwach sind. Bitcoin schwankt unter 77.000, Ethereum atmet um 2.400, die Zinserwartungen drücken, und ETF-Gelder fließen ab.
Das weltweite Spekulationskapital fließt alle in AI, die Kryptobranche kann kurzfristig nur tatenlos zusehen. Leg heute Abend vor der Veröffentlichung des CPI nicht zu früh zu, warte auf den Tiefpunkt des Marktes. Langfristig wird die On-Chain-AI-Erzählung früher oder später übernehmen.👊#PPI、CPI接连公布，美联储迎关键两日

🦔Wall Street's biggest banks are lobbying credit rating agencies to give OpenAI and Anthropic investment-grade ratings right after their IPOs. Neither company is profitable. Neither generates positive free cash flow. An investment-grade rating would let pension funds and insurers buy their debt and open access to the $11.7 trillion corporate bond market. One senior credit analyst told the FT "we still treat OpenAI and Anthropic as deep in speculative grade. They are in the red."
Previous tech companies like Meta, Netflix, and Tesla waited a decade or more.
My Take
An investment-grade rating means pension funds and insurers can buy this debt. Meaning your retirement money and your insurance premiums flowing into two companies that have never turned a profit. The bankers' argument is that the IPO itself will fix the balance sheet, but credit is supposed to measure whether a company can pay its debts from operations, not whether it can sell enough stock to cover that gap.
Everyone in this chain needs these ratings to go through. Nvidia has $105 billion in credit support for an OpenAI data center that terminates when OpenAI gets a "satisfactory credit rating." Oracle is one notch above junk after financing OpenAI's $300 billion data center buildout. Google and Broadcom extended tens of billions to back Anthropic's chip usage.
If the rating agencies stamp two unprofitable companies as investment grade so that pension funds can hold the debt, I think we need to have a serious conversation about what those ratings mean anymore. We had that conversation in 2008 and apparently we already forgot about it.

[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
OpenAI and Anthropic are already considering issuing bonds even before going public? Pharaoh directly says this is even more worth watching than the IPO itself — investment banks are fighting to secure an "investment-grade at birth" credit rating for them, aiming to directly enter the $11.7 trillion U.S. corporate bond market and reduce the financing costs of AI infrastructure.

By early October, OpenAI will also be ahead of where it is now.
But well, important to save face before an IPO

🚨 SCOOP: Anthropic are planning to launch a successor to Fable 5.1 before their IPO in late September, potentially early October if timelines slip a little
The model is Anthropic's first fresh pretrain for the Fable class, and they're confident it will dethrone Astra. The general mood among those I spoke to at Anthropic was that Astra was impressive but not something they were losing sleep about
What a crazy month
