#AnthropicIPO Anthropic's trillion dollar IPO has six questions wrapped into one price tag, and I don't think a strong opening day will answer any of them.
The enterprise numbers are serious: its filing says more than 11,900 customers generated at least $100,000 each over the previous year. That's not a hobby project. But how much of that revenue survives if running Claude keeps getting more expensive while customers resist higher subscription prices?
There's also an awkward dependency here. Nvidia supplies crucial chips, and the cloud giants provide much of the infrastructure. Anthropic needs those relationships, even as some partners compete for the same customers.
Then there's OpenAI. Claude doesn't need to beat it everywhere, but enterprise buyers have options. A good product isn't automatically a business with unlimited pricing power.
And the new personal finance idea? Read-only bank access sounds safer than transaction permissions, but I'd still want to know exactly what gets stored and who can see it.
Institutions might buy heavily at the IPO and sell later. I'd judge the business by customer retention and margins, not the first trading session.
