AI Infrastructure Consolidation: Hyperscaler Moat Expansion Through Compute Scarcity

MARKET STATE:
Hyperscaler
Nuclear

Executive Summary

The transition from speculative AI investment to operational infrastructure scarcity creates a structural advantage for vertically integrated hyperscalers. Multiple independent data points converge on a singular thesis: power grid constraints and specialized compute requirements are consolidating AI infrastructure control among established cloud providers. Anthropic's private market validation at premium valuations demonstrates enterprise willingness to pay for guaranteed compute access, while s...
