🚨Anthropic’s $900 Billion Dilemma...
#willanthropiclistontime
Anthropic still reportedly hopes to go public before Thanksgiving. But investors are questioning the price of admission.
In its latest SEC filing, the company reported approximately $16.96 billion in revenue in the third quarter, while revealing nearly $895.4 billion in cumulative commitments for computing and infrastructure.
That doesn’t mean $895 billion is due immediately. About $69.8 billion is expected to be paid over the next 12 months, and some commitments remain conditional or include termination rights.
The debate around the IPO is just as revealing.
Reuters reported that potential investors were questioning the rumored $1.5 trillion valuation and wanted a more attractive price. Subsequent reports indicate that Anthropic still intends to proceed with its roadshow
Meanwhile, data center projects in the United States are facing greater scrutiny over electricity demand, water consumption, and local permits. Pennsylvania, Texas, and New York have taken different steps to tighten development requirements
The often-overlooked point is that AI needs both capital and physical computing capacity. Securing one does not automatically guarantee the other.
Market implication: a difficult AI IPO could weigh on valuations of semiconductor and cloud infrastructure companies, as well as overall risk appetite. AI- and DePIN-related tokens could attract attention, but actual network usage and the ability of tokens to capture value matter more than the narrative
