Blackstone is heavily investing in the AI sector by providing large loans to data centers and neoclouds, including a $5 billion commitment to Crux AI in partnership with Google. The firm uses flexible financing strategies, focusing on compute infrastructure backed by contracts with major tech companies like Microsoft and Meta. However, rising interest rates and ballooning debt—such as CoreWeave's $50 billion debt—have sparked market concerns, leading to stock drops and canceled IPOs. Despite these challenges, Blackstone remains confident that the AI infrastructure buildout is backed by financially strong companies and does not pose systemic risks. Additionally, Blackstone supports AI adoption through a $1.5 billion joint venture with Anthropic to integrate AI into its portfolio companies.
