Anthropic has struck a $9.1 billion deal with Riot Platforms, a Bitcoin mining company that recently began selling AI data center capacity, as the Claude maker works to secure enough computing power to meet growing customer demand.

Riot disclosed Monday that it had secured a 20-year agreement to supply 191 megawatts of computing capacity from its Rockdale, Texas, campus to a “leading frontier AI” company. That company is Anthropic, according to people familiar with the matter.

Riot declined to comment, while Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment. Riot shares jumped 25% to $24.40 in late trading following news of the deal.

Anthropic has signed several major cloud-computing agreements in recent months, including a $10 billion deal with Volta Infra Holdings and an agreement to purchase nearly $45 billion worth of computing capacity from Elon Musk’s xAI in May. Yahoo Finance reports.
