The push comes as Anthropic lines up capacity across several providers. Beyond the Hut 8 Louisiana site, the company has committed to leasing 15 gigawatts of data center capacity from Amazon Web Services, Google, SpaceX's SpaceXAI and other cloud providers, and it signed a multiyear cloud deal with AI infrastructure provider Iren. The report frames the timing of that capacity as financially material: launching the Hut 8 site a month earlier could add at least $1.3 billion in revenue, which the report ties to strengthening revenue and margins ahead of a planned IPO. Anthropic, Hut 8, Iren, Google and SpaceX did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the Market Chatter format notes the information may include rumor and speculation.
