Key numbers: $50 billion investment announced in November 2025 for Fluidstack to build data centers in Texas and New York. Why it matters: Anthropic says the approach could provide long-term economic advantages and reduce reliance on cloud providers, but it lists further data center moratoriums as a key risk factor in its prospectus.
