What did Anthropic just sign in New York City?
Anthropic has leased a full 16-story building at 330 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan, covering 466,000 square feet. That is roughly 30 times the company's current New York footprint, according to reporting cited by KuCoin.
Anthropic currently occupies about 15,500 square feet at 155 Avenue of the Americas. That lease was signed in 2024 and has a potential expiration approaching in 2026.
Where is 330 Hudson Street, and when does the move happen?
330 Hudson Street sits in Hudson Square, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan. Anthropic plans to begin relocating there in the summer of 2026, per Odaily News.
The building is 16 stories tall and will house the company's expanded New York operations.
How big was Anthropic's Manhattan search before this deal?
Anthropic had been looking for between 250,000 and 450,000 square feet of Manhattan office space since at least January 2026. The final lease at 466,000 square feet landed above the top of that range.

The move from roughly 15,500 square feet to 466,000 square feet tracks with that headcount growth.
What is the TeraWulf data center deal?
TeraWulf is a company that started as a Bitcoin miner and has since shifted toward hosting AI workloads. It built out power infrastructure and data center capacity originally for cryptocurrency mining, then began offering that same infrastructure to AI companies.
Anthropic signed a $19 billion, 20-year lease agreement with TeraWulf for AI data center infrastructure located in Kentucky. The deal was announced alongside the New York office news on July 7, 2026.
The $19 billion commitment over 20 years makes Anthropic a single, dominant tenant for TeraWulf's AI-focused operations.
Why does TeraWulf's background in Bitcoin mining matter here?
TeraWulf built its infrastructure around cheap power and cooling — the same requirements that large GPU clusters for AI need. The company pivoted from cryptocurrency mining to AI hosting as the economics of each shifted.
This kind of infrastructure pivot is part of a broader pattern in AI infrastructure spending, where large capital commitments are flowing into data centers and compute at scale.
