AI-related debt has surged by 99% over the past year, largely attributed to significant debt issuances by hyperscalers like Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle. This rapid increase, reported at $121 billion in new debt for 2025, marks a substantial rise from the annual average of $28 billion between 2020 and 2024. The escalation is driven by the need for data center expansions and energy infrastructure to support next-generation AI models. As AI-related debt reaches $1.2 trillion, making up 14% of the investment-grade market, investors face increased concentration risk, with major banks nearing regulatory limits on exposure to these tech giants.
In prediction markets, this development appears to affect sentiment regarding Anthropic’s valuation. The market price for Anthropic reaching a $1.25 trillion valuation by December 31, 2026, is currently at 92.5% YES, showing a slight increase from previous days. However, the surge in AI-related debt suggests potential financial stability concerns that may impact investor confidence in tech valuations, including Anthropic.
