TREE NEWS reports: Banks are postponing the sale of bonds intended to refinance part of a $15 billion loan that funds a data center linked to Anthropic PBC near Hubbard, Texas, after the state paused new project approvals to assess grid risk. Lenders led by Morgan Stanley had aimed to sell $5 billion-$7 billion to high-yield investors in September; the sale may now be split over the coming year. The package includes a $14.2 billion one-year loan and a $1.4 billion five-year revolver.
Banks Delay $15B Texas Data Center Bond Sale Tied to Anthropic
The delay matters less for its size than for what it signals about execution risk in AI-infrastructure financing: a state-level grid review has reached the syndication calendar, forcing a large high-yield deal to be rethought rather than simply repriced. Lenders and the data-center sponsor absorb the timing hit, while high-yield buyers lose a near-term supply test. Whether Texas approvals resume and whether the sale is split as planned are the open questions; both will shape how comparable AI-linked bond deals are timed.
