Nvidia is negotiating to guarantee likely more than $5B in construction debt for Nscale's 460MW Anthropic data center in West Virginia, per The Information, and the deal is unsigned. The guarantee would be backed by the building's value rather than its lease or chips, letting Nscale borrow at investment-grade terms; if Nscale missed construction payments, Nvidia would cover them, run the site temporarily and arrange a sale and re-lease. It matters because a chip supplier stepping in as a debt guarantor shows how far AI infrastructure financing is stretching to fund the buildout.
