GRO MONEY NEWS - 🚨 AI JUST PUT $160.5 BILLION ON THE CAPITAL STACK.

Two transactions tell you exactly where the AI economy is going.

💰 A $63 billion SPV financing backed by Bank of America, Citi, Morgan Stanley and Blackstone will finance Broadcom compute infrastructure for Anthropic. Meta simultaneously expanded its AI related capital plan to $97.5 billion.

⚡ This is no longer a software story. AI is becoming structured finance, equipment finance, infrastructure finance, power finance and real estate finance.

🔥 Then EQT announced its acquisition of Range Resources, creating a natural gas company with a pro forma enterprise value above $50 billion. Data center demand is becoming part of the natural gas consolidation thesis because compute needs electricity, electricity needs generation and generation needs fuel.

🏦 Meanwhile, the ten year Treasury is hovering around 5%, mortgage rates remain above 7% in many daily surveys, and commercial real estate borrowers are being forced to underwrite capital honestly again.

📊 Today’s GRO Money News breaks down where the capital is moving, why the Anthropic structure matters, the EQT and Range power thesis, housing data, CRE debt, sovereign capital, today’s tax law opportunity and what investors should diligence before wiring into an AI infrastructure deal.

My takeaway: AI did not escape the laws of finance. It just became large enough to require the entire capital markets system.

Until tomorrow, be the best human you can be.

I just put $160.5 billion on the capital stack. Good morning. Today, Wall Street gave us a fairly spectacular answer to the question everyone has been asking about artificial intelligence. Who is going to pay for all of this? Apparently, everybody. Between the new $63 billion financing structure supporting anthropic compute capacity and Metas expanded $97.5 billion AI capital plan, we are looking at roughly $160.5 billion of announced capital formation around two AI buildouts. This is not venture capital anymore. This is structured finance, public equity, private credit, equipment finance, infrastructure finance, and increasingly energy finance stacked on top of each other. This episode is brought to you by Grow Group. We are actively looking to place $5 billion of equity financing in 2026 for qualified master builders in major MSA territories with financing options, including up to 100% for developments, data centers, and solar projects. Apparently, the rest of Wall Street also discovered that infrastructure requires actual money, which is adorable. The market likes the story this morning. Near mid-day Eastern time, the S&P 500 was up roughly 0.7%. The NASDAQ was up about 1.3%, and the Dow was modestly positive. Chip stocks were leading, Broadcom was up sharply, and the AI infrastructure names were moving higher. Yet sentiment is nowhere near euphoric. The CNN fear and greed gauge remains in fear territory, and the 10-year treasury is hovering around 5%. That combination matters, because investors are willing to own growth, but they are demanding much more discipline from the capital structure underneath it. That brings us to the biggest story. Bank of America, city, and Morgan Stanley are arranging the first lean financing for a newly formed special purpose vehicle that will purchase Broadcom AI accelerators and networking equipment supporting anthropic. Blackstone is providing the committed second lean capital. Total announced transaction size, $63 billion. Look closely at that structure, because it tells us where AI finance is going. The capital is not simply being invested
