Anthropic may get a high junk credit rating after IPO, according to report

A report says credit rating agencies are expected to assign Anthropic a high 'junk' rating following its planned IPO. The forecast comes from Blackstone, though it is presented as a prediction rather than a confirmed decision. A junk rating would make it harder and more expensive for Anthropic to raise funds. Such financing is needed to sustain the company's heavy spending that has supported its business growth.
