- As Anthropic’s IPO Looms, The Company Faces A Significant Risk From A Surprising Place, Midterm State And Local Elections
Anthropic has publicly filed its Form S-1 for an IPO just days before the midterm elections, and Oxford Economics' chief U.S. economist Michael Pearce says the biggest risk to its AI data center expansion lies with state and local officials. He cites moratoriums, environmental reviews and grid-connection bottlenecks as more immediate threats than Washington. A May Gallup poll found 71% of Americans oppose data center construction near them, and the National League of Cities tracker counts at least 76 localities that have tried halts or bans. Per WSJ via investingLive, Anthropic's compute commitments exceed $600 billion, though TradingKey cites $750 billion, and the S-1 warns that delays in securing energy, water and other critical services could slow new compute.
- Anthropic Flags Data Center Moratoriums as a Top Risk to Its Growth Plans
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is set for an IPO next month after publicly filing its roughly 400-page S-1 with the SEC on Monday. The filing devotes more than 90 pages to risks, and the article highlights near-term threats such as moratoriums on new data center construction, which Anthropic depends on for compute capacity. Several states, including New York, have already passed temporary moratoriums. Sales reached $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, about 14 times the first half of 2025, while the operating loss narrowed from $2.1 billion to $693 million and the company posted a $974 million operating profit in the second quarter. The author's bigger concern is whether Anthropic has a lasting moat as AI moves toward commodity status and competitors offer cheaper alternatives.
- Nvidia Stock Is 10% Below Its Record. Does Anthropic's IPO Filing Make It a Buy?
Anthropic's IPO filing shows it has agreed to pay up to about $206 billion to rent computing power built on Nvidia chips from three providers, including up to $120.5 billion with SpaceXAI, around $44.6 billion with Nscale and about $41.3 billion with Lambda. These are cloud rental contracts rather than chip orders, and rent also covers buildings, power, financing and provider profit, so Nvidia's portion is likely much smaller; commitments to Google and Broadcom alone total about $276 billion. Nvidia's data center revenue reached $89.0 billion in fiscal Q2 2027, more than double a year earlier, and the author argues its growth does not rest on any one lab. At around $216, Nvidia stock trades at about 14 times expected fiscal 2028 earnings per share; the author says they would consider investing at that level, though the filing does little to strengthen that case by itself.
- Broadcom Rises 3% on DA Davidson Upgrade and $400 Target Tied to Anthropic IPO; NVIDIA and AMD Edge Higher
Broadcom (AVGO) rose 3% to $339.90 in early trade after DA Davidson upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral and set a $400 price target, citing Anthropic's IPO filing. The filing names Broadcom as a supplier and lessor of Anthropic's AI computing equipment under non-cancelable five-year leases for TPU-based capacity, and Anthropic put cash into a restricted account for Broadcom's benefit in April. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion in Q3 FY2026, up 221% year over year, with a Q4 FY2026 outlook of $21.7 billion. The article says this growth depends on a few customers whose funding is not yet secured, and that the leases can accelerate on certain payment or performance defaults. NVIDIA rose 1% to $218.41 and AMD 2% to $544 as chip stocks gained.
- Anthropic IPO leads AI's $235 billion dealmaking blitz
- Asia chipmaking, AI stocks surge on Anthropic IPO cheer
Chip and AI stocks in Asia rallied on Tuesday after Anthropic filed for an IPO, reviving hopes for AI demand. By 03:25 GMT, Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) rose 4% and SK Hynix Inc (KS:000660) climbed 6%; in Japan, Tokyo Electron (TYO:8035) gained 3%, Advantest Corp. (TYO:6857) jumped nearly 10% and SoftBank Group (TYO:9984) rose more than 6%. In Hong Kong, SMIC (HK:0981) added 0.8% and Hua Hong Grace Semiconductor (HK:1347) rose over 2%. Overnight on Wall Street, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) gained 2.4%, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) rose 3% and CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) climbed nearly 6%. Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatbot, disclosed rapid revenue growth alongside steep losses in its IPO filing on Monday, highlighting both the commercial potential of generative AI and the high cost of developing advanced models; markets now await this week's results from major U.S. tech companies to see whether AI investment is turning into sustainable profits.

- Bitcoin Treasury Datavault AI Says It Can’t Access Its BTC, Stock Tanks
Datavault AI shares fell 49.55% to $0.067 after an SEC filing said the company has been unable since June to complete a request to withdraw Bitcoin from the Biconomy exchange. The company will restate four financial reports, cutting reported assets by up to $92.2 million, after reclassifying Bitcoin from a $150 million Scilex stock deal as a subscription receivable. Management is reassessing its going-concern status because it had counted the Bitcoin as a source of liquidity, and collecting what Scilex owes is uncertain. Scilex separately signed a binding term sheet in June 2026 to buy 837 BTC held in Datavault's Biconomy wallet for $50 million, subject to a definitive agreement. Datavault stock later bounced to near $0.085.

- AI Spending Is Nearing $1 Trillion Annually. These 2 Stocks Are Most at Risk If It Slows.
AI capital expenditures are approaching $1 trillion a year, driving record results at Nvidia and Micron but raising investor doubts about how sustainable the spending is. Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue for its fiscal 2027 second quarter, with $89 billion from its data center business, so its growth is closely tied to the AI infrastructure budgets of the biggest tech companies. Micron benefits from strong high bandwidth memory demand, reporting fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter revenue of $54.2 billion and $133.2 billion for the full year, but memory is cyclical and an oversupply could push prices down. The article concludes that both companies could be reassessed if AI spending slows, with Nvidia having more to lose.

- Canadian ‘crypto king’ case to go to jury as criminal trial winds down
Aiden Pleterski, a self-described “crypto king” in Canada, faces fraud charges over his alleged role in a digital asset Ponzi scheme, and the case will go to jury deliberations after closing arguments. Pleterski told the court he is innocent, saying he was forced to represent himself and that his innocence would otherwise have been proven. According to CBC, the jury will begin deliberating Thursday after receiving final instructions from Justice Shaun Nakatsuru. He is accused of defrauding about $30 million from social media followers between 2021 and 2022, was charged in 2024, and had waited more than two years for trial; a fraud conviction could bring up to 14 years in prison. Separately, five men, some reportedly victims of the scheme, were charged with kidnapping and torturing him in 2022, and one of them, Deren Akyeam-Pong, pleaded guilty to nine charges and awaits sentencing.
- Microsoft recorded $10 billion in revenue from OpenAI
Microsoft reported $10 billion in revenue from its commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue-sharing payments, in the quarter ended September 30, nearly 11% of its $92.3 billion total quarterly revenue. For the full 2026 fiscal year, OpenAI-related revenue reached $24.1 billion, and at the latest quarterly pace Microsoft would earn about $40 billion a year from these arrangements. Its receivables from OpenAI rose to $7.2 billion at the end of September from $6 billion at the end of June, reflecting amounts owed for past transactions rather than new revenue. The filing does not show how much came from revenue sharing versus Azure cloud services. Under an April 2026 agreement, OpenAI will keep sharing revenue with Microsoft through 2030, subject to a cap, while Microsoft's stake fell from about 25% in June to 24% in September, with no cause specified.
