What Anthropic’s IPO Filing Actually Says
2026-11-01
Anthropic — the maker of the Claude AI models — has filed its S-1 prospectus for what could be the largest IPO in history, at a valuation somewhere between one and a half and two trillion dollars. In this video Patrick Boyle goes through the filing in detail: the eighty-billion-dollar “loss” that isn’t really a loss, the genuine operating profit nobody expected, the growth rate that quietly halved in the third quarter, the eight hundred billion dollars of compute commitments buried in the footnotes, and a corporate governance structure that leaves ordinary shareholders with almost no say at all. Is Anthropic a two-trillion-dollar bargain, an AI bubble about to pop, or something nobody — including Anthropic — can actually price? We look at what the numbers say, what they don’t, and why the honest answer is that both the bulls and the bears are guessing.Paul Kedrosky on Hidden Forces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcn8HpgPBIY
