[Anthropic](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000002/anthropic) posted a job listing earlier this month for its first Gas Supply and Transport Lead, a role paying $320,000 to $405,000 to secure natural gas for the company's data centers. [Business Insider](https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-hires-gas-supply-lead-ai-plans-accelerate-ipo-2026-11) reported the listing as the company approaches a large initial public offering.

## Anthropic's First Gas Supply and Transport Role

The posting says some Anthropic campuses will run on gas-fired, behind-the-meter generation, separate from the larger energy grid. "At those sites fuel is the power supply: if gas does not arrive, in the volume and at the pressure the plant needs, the compute does not run," the listing says. The hire will negotiate gas supply agreements, test new sites and use interstate, intrastate and Canadian pipelines, according to the post, which asks for at least eight years of natural gas industry experience.

Anthropic wrote in its IPO prospectus that it expects to need to compete for natural gas in some areas where it is helping to build new data centers. The company also disclosed around $900 billion in infrastructure commitments, with around half due by 2030. CEO Dario Amodei said at one point in 2026 that growth was "too hard to handle," Business Insider reported. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

## Anthropic's Infrastructure Commitments

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Anthropic signed a 20-year, $19 billion AI infrastructure lease with TeraWulf in July 2026 for 401 MW of capacity at the Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, ramping from the second half of 2027. The same records show Anthropic confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the SEC in June 2026, placing it on a path to a potential public offering before the end of 2026.

## Anthropic's Run-Up to the Gas Hire

In May 2026, Anthropic announced a deal to get hundreds of megawatts of computing power from SpaceX's Colossus One data center, Business Insider reported. The company had already been using compute from [Google](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000r9/google), Amazon and [Microsoft](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000026e/microsoft). In its IPO filing's risks section, Anthropic wrote that its dependence on natural gas exposes it to potential cost swings and delays, and that environmental standards for power generation could evolve amid shifting public and political views on climate change.

## Anthropic's Planned Public Offering

Anthropic's June 2026 draft registration statement put it on a path to go public potentially before the end of 2026, according to akta.pro company records.
