RUM Group stock is up today because The Information reported that Anthropic is the customer behind the $13.7 billion, six-year computing contract the company disclosed in August without naming it. The first headline on MoveSurge's tape, on the shares jumping in premarket trading, crossed at 04:18:06 ET on Monday, September 14, 2026, and at 12:20 ET the shares were up 15.20% at $8.26, from Friday's close of $7.17.

RUM Group is the holding company Rumble became in June, after its all-stock acquisition of German AI cloud provider Northern Data for roughly $767 million. It runs the Rumble video platform and Quake AI, its cloud and AI infrastructure division, and still trades under the ticker RUM.

What the reported Anthropic deal covers

The capacity is expected to come from a data center RUM Group is building in Maysville, Georgia. The contract carries a warrant for up to 50.81 million Class A shares at one cent each, which vests in tranches as the customer's purchases and later expansions are completed. Neither company has commented on the report. RUM Group's filings show it has not yet lined up the financing to complete the Maysville contract, and the warrant would add dilution on top of any future capital raise.
