According to a draft pre-IPO prospectus cited by the Wall Street Journal, Anthropic posted first-half revenue of $16.3 billion, up sharply from $1.1 billion a year earlier. Its net loss exceeded $80 billion, mainly due to a $72 billion accounting adjustment tied to changes in the value of financial instruments used to raise capital. AI infrastructure spending nearly quadrupled to $9 billion in the first half, and the company signaled it could invest up to $750 billion over the coming years in computing capacity. Per Reuters, some investors at a recent event weighed a valuation of about $1.5 trillion, below the roughly $2 trillion previously expected for its November IPO. A cooler reception could weigh on the broader AI market.

- Why Anthropic's $80.7B in net losses shouldn't worry IPO investors
A Yahoo Finance video features B. Riley Wealth Chief Market Strategist Art Hogan discussing Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) reported IPO draft. The draft reportedly discloses about $80.7 billion in net losses for the first half of 2026.
- Ex-Google CEO got the job after a Burning Man trip with Larry Page. Now an ex’s intro could make him $20B on Anthropic
Eric Schmidt was vetted by Sergey Brin and Larry Page and hired as Google's CEO after an unconventional interview process, with Brin citing Schmidt as the only CEO finalist who had gone to Burning Man. In 2011, Schmidt began dating Camilla Clark for three years; she later married Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. In 2018, that connection led Schmidt to meet with her and her then-partner to discuss Anthropic, and he invested early and now owns about 1% of the company. According to the Financial Times, Anthropic could be valued at as much as $2 trillion in an IPO, which could make Schmidt's stake worth $20 billion, more than half his current net worth per Forbes, compared with the roughly $461 million valuation when he invested.
- Eric Schmidt Wrote a Check to Anthropic Before the AI Boom: Here’s How Big the Payoff Could Get
According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt holds about 1% of Anthropic through a Series A investment of 'tens of millions of dollars', though it is unclear whether he has sold any stake. Anthropic was valued at $461 million when Schmidt invested in 2021, per PitchBook, while investors recently indicated a fair valuation of about $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion. At $2 trillion, the stake would lift his net worth by about one-third to nearly $80 billion. Alphabet owns about 14% of Anthropic and Amazon has invested an estimated $8 billion, while early investor Brad Gerstner expects an IPO in 'weeks, not months'. Per Reuters, Anthropic told investors that third-quarter revenue rose 45% from the previous quarter to $16.8 billion and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis.
- Making sense of Anthropic's $750 billion compute bet
A Wall Street Journal report on a new draft IPO prospectus says Anthropic's revenue for the first half of 2026 reached $16.3 billion, up from $1.1 billion a year earlier, while compute and infrastructure spending rose to nearly $9 billion from $2.3 billion. The company posted a net loss of $80.7 billion, mostly from accounting for convertible shares and notes. Its compute commitments could reach $750 billion, including non-cancelable contracts of $111 billion with Google, $110 billion with Amazon Web Services and $31 billion with Microsoft, regardless of actual usage. The discussion noted that about $600 billion is essentially committed, with talks on another $150 billion, and that two customers make up roughly a fifth of first-half revenue, so any pullback in hyperscaler spending could significantly hit revenue.
- OpenAI expands ChatGPT Ads to 26 new countries as diversification push accelerates
OpenAI will roll out ChatGPT Ads to 26 more countries, bringing the total to 89, including free users and Go subscribers in places such as Argentina, Peru, Nigeria, South Africa and Ukraine. According to the company, the ads are separate from ChatGPT's responses, do not influence its answers and are clearly labeled. OpenAI says its ad business reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in August, up from $100 million in March, and that more than 100,000 advertisers have run campaigns. The ads were first tested in the U.S. in February, a move rival Anthropic ridiculed, and Anthropic has pledged to keep its Claude chatbot ad-free. Both companies are widely expected to go public, with OpenAI executives signaling a 2027 listing.
- Anthropic Has Committed $450 Billion to Cloud Computing, Its Draft IPO Filing Shows
Anthropic's updated confidential draft IPO filing describes about $450 billion in cloud compute agreements over the next decade, which the Wall Street Journal reported after reviewing it, calling them 'massive, noncancelable' commitments. Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft are each renting computing power to Anthropic and hold equity stakes in it, while also building AI products that compete with Claude. The draft also points to up to $750 billion of potential compute spending, though that figure includes deals still under negotiation. Anthropic's first-half 2026 revenue reached $16.3 billion, up from $1.1 billion a year earlier, while its $80.7 billion net loss includes about $72 billion of non-cash adjustments. Two customers accounted for about 20% of first-half revenue, and the draft says the IPO could value Anthropic at $2 trillion, a preliminary estimate.

- Trump to throw spotlight on overseas crypto abuses at White House event
President Donald Trump is set to highlight his administration's efforts to pursue overseas crypto criminals at a White House cybercrime event on Wednesday, according to an official. U.S. law enforcement has halted about $833 million in crypto tied to overseas scams, and 503 fraudulent crypto websites have been seized under the Homeland Security Task Force. Authorities have also informed almost 9,000 U.S. citizens that they are being victimized. The transnational criminal organizations behind these scams have stolen tens of billions of dollars from Americans, and the Treasury formed a multi-agency Scam Center Strike Force in November. Meanwhile, Trump's personal crypto ties may have become a political liability as the midterm elections approach in a couple of weeks.

Berkshire Hathaway, led by CEO Greg Abel since January, bought an additional $330 million of Bending Spoons (BSP) shares, bringing its stake to 4% after its July IPO purchase. The latest deal was a private placement of 10 million shares at $33 each, while the stock traded at $47 before the announcement and jumped to $53 on Oct. 14. Bending Spoons' second-quarter revenue rose 126% to $311 million, and operating margin improved from 32% to 34%, though growth was driven by acquisitions and the company did not disclose results for individual brands. It reported $4.09 billion in net debt and a 2.4 leverage ratio, which the article contrasts with the cash-generating companies Berkshire usually buys. The article suggests the move shows Abel is willing to look beyond the company's traditional industries.
