How we checked this
Checked on September 26, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article says the tenant was unnamed at announcement and was 'later reported as Anthropic.' It passes on media reports and does not cite any confirmation from Riot or Anthropic.
Confirmed in the source:
- The Rockdale, Texas lease tenant was not named when Riot first announced it
- Reports later identified the lease counterparty as Anthropic
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- Riot or Anthropic officially confirmed that Anthropic is the counterparty to the 191 MW lease
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.
