Sovereign wealth fund GIC and Macquarie Asset Management have established a new joint venture called Theseus Infrastructure, purpose-built to finance and develop data centers for Anthropic. The partnership formalizes a capital structure dedicated to meeting the AI company's growing compute demands, with both firms committing institutional-scale resources to the buildout. No total investment figure was disclosed in the initial announcement.
A dedicated infrastructure vehicle formed by two of the world's largest institutional investors signals that AI compute demand has matured into a distinct asset class warranting bespoke financing structures. This deal could set a template for other AI labs seeking long-term, institutional capital partners outside traditional hyperscaler or REIT channels.
Named companies GIC, Macquarie, and Anthropic, plus the formation of a named new entity 'Theseus Infrastructure,' triggered selection. The story is distinct from the previously published Riot Platforms/Anthropic lease deal and represents a new, separate financing development.
