Anthropic assigned highest junk credit rating in June

Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, was assigned a speculative-grade credit rating — the highest 'junk' tier — in June, according to Financial Times reporting. The rating highlights tension between the enormous valuations of leading AI startups and their unproven profitability, as companies like Anthropic borrow heavily to fund computing infrastructure while continuing to post large losses.

Why now: Credit agencies are formally rating AI startups as risky despite massive valuations, fueling debate about a possible AI investment bubble.
