Anthropic, SpaceX and Meta Launch Fundraising Push Totaling Nearly $250 Billion

[The Information] Anthropic, SpaceX and Meta Platforms each unveiled plans on Monday to raise large sums to fund their AI ambitions, in efforts that could collectively add up to almost a quarter of a trillion dollars, The Information reported. Anthropic filed an S-1 for its initial public offering but did not say how much it plans to raise; Reuters has previously reported the figure could be as much as $100 billion. Meta said it aims to raise as much as $95 billion through stock offerings, and said in a prior filing that timing was important to secure capital before competitors saturate various funding options. SpaceX, meanwhile, reached a $40 billion financing agreement with an entity managed by Apollo Global Management to lease graphics processing units for its data centers; SpaceX said it is the largest GPU financing in history.
