Broadcom $AVGO has entered discussions with lenders about securing $70 billion to $80 billion in debt to fund a chip financing arrangement benefiting artificial intelligence companies, Anthropic among them, according to CNBC. Lenders are targeting a senior tranche of roughly $45 billion and a junior tranche of about $35 billion, though both figures could still shift.
Bloomberg separately reported Thursday that the deal could include a roughly $30 billion junior tranche and a senior-secured tranche ranging from about $60 billion to $70 billion, according to Reuters. Under those figures, the total raise could reach as much as $100 billion.
