Anthropic has struck a roughly $9.1 billion deal with Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms to lease AI computing capacity. The agreement is described as a 20-year lease tied to Riot’s operations in Rockdale, Texas.
Under the reported terms, the lease covers 191 megawatts of computing capacity at Riot’s Rockdale campus and is set to run through June 2048. The arrangement links Riot’s existing data-center and power infrastructure to Anthropic’s demand for AI compute.
Both outlets report the same core figures—deal size, the capacity amount, the location, and the multi-decade duration—though they present the deal value with slightly different rounding. Quartz cites $9.1 billion, while Cointelegraph describes it as about $9 billion. No additional details about pricing structure or specific hardware or software arrangements are provided in the excerpts.
