How we checked this
Checked on September 16, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The staged delivery dates and megawatt figures are stated outright; only the naming of Anthropic as the tenant rests on an unconfirmed report.
Confirmed in the source:
- Delivery occurs in stages, with the first 96 megawatts scheduled for December 2027
- All 191 megawatts are due by June 2028
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the tenant on this lease is Anthropic as a confirmed fact — the article notes Riot called the customer a 'leading frontier AI lab' and that neither company has publicly confirmed the counterparty
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.
