Anthropic has announced a US$ 50 billion investment to expand American computing infrastructure through new data centers built in partnership with Fluidstack, a UK-based neocloud provider. The first facilities will be located in Texas and New York, with additional sites planned across the United States of America (USA).

In a press release Anthropic emphasized its custom designed to maximize advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and these new centers are scheduled to be fully operational in 2026. The initiative aligns with the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, which seeks to reinforce U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence and strengthen domestic technology capabilities. Fluidstack was chosen as the infrastructure partner to deliver the large-scale power capacity required for Anthropic’s operations. 

“We’re getting closer to AI that can accelerate scientific discovery and help solve complex problems in ways that weren’t possible before,” said Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder, Anthropic. “These sites will help us build more capable AI systems that can drive those breakthroughs, while creating American jobs.”

Gary Wu, co-founder and CEO of Fluidstack said, “We’re proud to partner with frontier AI leaders like Anthropic to accelerate and deploy the infrastructure necessary to realize their vision.”

Anthropic has been consistently attracting the attention of and investments from global tech giants over the last few years. In September 2023, Amazon announced investments worth US$ 4 billion in the artificial intelligence startup, a goal it completed in March 2024. Google entered a similar strategic partnership with Anthropic by announcing investments worth US$ 2 billion in October 2023. 

More recently, in October 2025, Anthropic announced an expansion of its use of Google Cloud’s TPU chips, providing the company with access to well over a gigawatt of capacity coming online in 2026. Anthropic will have access to up to one million TPU chips, making it the largest expansion of Anthropic’s TPU usage to date. Anthropic said that the expansion was worth “tens of billions of dollars” but did not specify the amount.

Anthropic’s flagship AI assistant, Claude, now serves over 300,000 business customers. The investment aims to support the growing demand for Claude while ensuring the company continues advancing research in scalable, safe AI development. The firm emphasized that it will pursue capital-efficient approaches as it expands capacity to meet the requirements of both enterprise users and AI researchers.
