From Amazon to Google: The 10 largest companies in the world are 'betting' 700 billion in contracts in Anthropic's IPO

Anthropic is preparing for its IPO on Nasdaq, with significant financial stakes from major tech companies like Google and Amazon. The company has substantial contracts worth hundreds of billions with these firms, raising concerns about the sustainability of its business model. Google has the largest exposure, with cloud contracts totaling $114.5 billion, while Amazon holds convertible loans and additional contracts worth $110 billion. Broadcom and SpaceX also have significant financial ties to Anthropic. In response to these pressures, Anthropic plans to adopt a hybrid strategy, operating its own data centers while leasing chips, aiming for a more flexible capital approach.
