Anthropic's rumored $2T valuation is 400x its annualized run-rate revenue

A viral post claims Anthropic could go public at a $2 trillion valuation — about 400x its annualized revenue. The author argues this "annualized revenue" is merely a short-window extrapolation, conceptually very different from true ARR, despite sharing the same acronym, and hints the conflation may trace back to the same auditing camp.
The post also notes that some in the US are already dreaming of a $10 trillion company, suggesting AI valuations are increasingly decoupled from fundamentals. The valuation figure remains unconfirmed.
