Anthropic has signed a six-year, $13.7 billion computing power lease agreement with emerging U.S. cloud service provider Rum Group, The Information reported, citing sources. Rum Group, formerly conservative video platform Rumble, counts Peter Thiel and current U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance among its early investors. The platform also hosts Donald Trump's Truth Social and official White House live streams, leading media to often refer to it as a "Trump-affiliated" company. The agreement also includes an equity arrangement, granting Anthropic an option to purchase up to 51 million shares of Rum Group at $0.01 per share, with exercise conditions tied to the volume of computing power purchased. Rum Group's Georgia data center, central to the agreement, is still under construction, and the company stated in an August securities filing that it "does not yet have the funds" to complete the project, expecting to cover most expenses through additional debt or equity financing.
