Anthropic's Reported $2T Listing Valuation Is 400x Its Annualized Revenue

A post claims Anthropic's listing valuation has reached $2 trillion — about 400x its annualized revenue — and questions the metric: annualized revenue is extrapolated from a short recent period, unlike audited ARR, despite sharing the same acronym. For comparison, Google listed at roughly 7x audited annual recurring revenue. The author also mocks US dreams of a $10 trillion company, joking it would make the US debt crisis irrelevant.
