Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Anthropic has secured a $3 billion deal for gas-fired electricity as it prepares for its IPO, according to the Financial Times. The arrangement is intended to lock in power supply for the AI developer's energy-intensive operations ahead of its public listing. The move signals that energy procurement is becoming a core part of Anthropic's cost and infrastructure planning, which could shape investor confidence and market cap expectations at IPO. The deal also highlights how AI firms are increasingly competing for reliable generation capacity, not just compute. What to watch next is how the contract's terms affect Anthropic's cost structure and whether other AI companies follow with similar long-term power agreements.
