Riot names Anthropic in $28B Texas lease filing
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by Bitcoin Magazine ·
Riot Platforms disclosed that Anthropic is the tenant behind its 15-year lease at the Corsicana, Texas campus. The filing also outlines a reimbursement structure that could turn into rent credits with 12% annual interest if market financing is not available.
Key points
- Anthropic was named as the tenant for Riot’s “Frontier AI Lab” lease.
- The Corsicana agreement covers up to 910 MW of critical IT capacity.
- Riot says the full-term value could reach about $54 billion if extensions are exercised.
- If financing is unavailable, Riot would provide rent credits that accrue 12% interest per year.
- Riot said it expects to keep selling most of the bitcoin it mines.
Why it matters
The filing shows Riot leaning further into AI infrastructure rather than keeping more BTC on its balance sheet. It also highlights how dependent the project is on outside financing and tenant protections.
