How we checked this
Checked on September 25, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article supports the lease's 20-year term, 191 MW size and Rockdale, Texas location. It presents Anthropic as the tenant only on the basis of later reports, not as a confirmed counterparty.
Confirmed in the source:
- Riot Platforms signed a 20-year AI data center lease
- The lease covers 191 MW
- The tenant was described as a 'leading frontier AI lab'
- The lease is located at Rockdale, Texas
- Reports later identified the tenant as Anthropic
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That Anthropic is confirmed as the tenant; the article says only that the tenant was initially unnamed and later reported to be Anthropic
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.
