AI's $11 trillion compute boom may leave Wall Street holding a $7 trillion debt market [View all]

Monumental bail-out is on the way. AI will be so integrated into everything they will be forced to.

SemiAnalysis estimates that cumulative AI capital spending from 2024 to 2029 could reach about $11.1 trillion.

The same report projects about $7.1 trillion of AI-related debt outstanding by 2029, which means the industry may increasingly depend on lenders and infrastructure investors to keep the compute race moving.

SemiAnalysis’ estimate is aggressive, but other major forecasts point in the same direction. Goldman Sachs estimates about $7.6 trillion of global AI infrastructure investment from 2026 to 2031 across compute, data centers and power.
McKinsey estimates that data centers will require $6.7 trillion worldwide by 2030, with $5.2 trillion tied to AI workloads alone.

AI compute is starting to resemble an asset class, where lenders underwrite future GPU rental income in the same way they might look at aircraft leases, telecom towers or energy infrastructure. The hardware is expensive, the contracts are long, and the value depends on how much demand remains when the project finally comes online.
