Anthropic 191 MW lease at Rockdale, Texas

Checked on September 24, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.

The source confirms the lease's length, size and location. It names Anthropic only through a Bloomberg report and says the larger tenant is 'reportedly' Anthropic, whereas the claim states the counterparty as fact.

Confirmed in the source:

• Riot disclosed a 20-year lease on August 10
• The lease covers 191 megawatts of critical IT capacity
• The capacity is at Riot's Rockdale, Texas campus
• Bloomberg reported that the tenant is Anthropic

We could not confirm this from the cited source:

• That Anthropic is the tenant, as confirmed fact rather than a media report (Riot described the tenant only as 'one of the world's leading frontier AI labs')

That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
