@levieThis is the key stat. The average Fortune 500 customer of Anthropic spends less than .1% of their expenses on Anthropic. While that number likely will eventually asymptote somewhere (token@gregisenbergMy quick takeaways on the Anthropic S-1: 1. This is a historical moment 2. $6.6M in revenue per employee!! Hard to even comprehend how good that is but Anthropic is AI native as it gets s@HarryStebbingsVery few podcasts will actually make you smarter AND make you laugh. No politics, no egos, just tech. The biggest news this week: - Anthropic Files S1 Ahead of $2TRN IPO - Instinct's Rumo@amitisinvestingANTHROPIC'S IPO DOCUMENTS ARE CALMING DOWN THE MARKETS. None of the numbers released today are that different from what we heard last week, but now we know how much cash they have. Anthro@frankdegodsas a counter to anthropic s1 glaze majority of q2 was the height of tokenmaxxing where companies were spending as much money as possible on credits it wasn’t until july where the idea of @AFpostAnthropic has filed its S-1 statement to prepare for its IPO as $ANT. The company has generated $16B in revenue, but posted an annual net loss of over $80B, leaving net expenses close to $1@AustenWait so based on Anthropic's S-1: * Anthropic has raised $141.1B (lifetime) * Anthropic has burned $9.4B (lifetime). * From 2023 - June 2026 they had positive free cashflow of $6.7B * It@saxena_puruThe AI selloff is not about demand evaporating. It is about cash flow, financing cost and how long the market is willing to wait for the returns. Demand signals remain extremely strong. SK@CryptoNobler🚨 WARNING: THIS IS HOW THE AI BUBBLE COLLAPSES!! The biggest market warning in 100+ years. This pattern has NEVER failed. Most people still don’t understand what this really means. But 9@FinanceLancelotFun fact, Anthropic insiders can dump 10% of their shares on the 1st day of trading. They haven't released the unlock schedule for the remaining 90% because they don't want to spook markets@edzitronFree newsletter: Anthropic’s S-1 uses an anomalous quarter to con investors into becoming its exit liquidity, and explicitly states that its costs will grow aggressively as margins decline. @SMB_AttorneyAnthropic just filed to go public. I read the S-1. Some of this is genuinely insane... ONE CONTROLS THE ENTIRE COMPANY 😂 > $16.3 billion in revenue in the first six months of 2026. Up roug@Inomsxbtanthropic filing its s-1 might be one of the biggest moments in ai so far. 3 years ago, it did $41m in revenue. in the first six months of 2026 it did $16.3b. i do not think anyone fully @DarioCpxAnthropic Q3 was bad, but the draft S-1 blanks out ALL key figures, so it can be proven.

Not much of a single stocks guy and a thousand smarter analysts pouring over this rn than me but m@BraverCryptoEducational caution on the Anthropic ($ANT) 1.5 Trillion Dollar IPO: First & most important: Expect the classic hype → pump → dump pattern before any sustainable base forms. Ok, now to th@ChrisGPTBrutal day for Ed Zitron! (who has blocked me) The S-1 is here. In May, you dismissed Anthropic’s projected Q2 profitability as “only non-GAAP EBITDA profitable.” The filing now reports $974@bloggersarveshWe've reached the point where an AI company lists its own models as a risk factor. My quick take on the Anthropic S-1: 1. They admit their models have shown behavior like resisting shutdow
