Anthropic – $4.6 billion in revenue. $42 billion in net losses. $518 billion in obligations. Prediction: Trump announces the US is taking an equity stake in $ANTHROPIC.

Anthropic’s leaked IPO prospectus shows $4.6 billion of 2025 revenue, up roughly 12-fold, but a $42 billion net loss. The loss needs context: about $34 billion came from a non-cash accounting charge tied to financing instruments. The operating loss was still more than $8 billion, however, while computing and infrastructure costs reached $7.33 billion.

September 29, 2026 — The more explosive number is the $518 billion of infrastructure commitments. Reuters reports that about 80% is non-cancelable or requires payment regardless of actual usage. Anthropic has commitments of $111.1 billion with Google, $110 billion with Amazon and $31.4 billion with Microsoft, plus roughly $161.2 billion of Broadcom-related equipment leases.

Revenue from new product development is projected to become the biggest contributor to the industry, estimated to generate about $4.2 trillion to fund the booming technology’s global market within the next half-decade, the US consultancy said in its latest technology report series on Tuesday.
