- 6,000 companies now spend $100k+/year on Claude (4x YoY); over 100 enterprise whales pay $10M+ annually each.
- Microsoft cut internal Claude spend 33% but still pays $670M/year, and Copilot external customers use Claude even more; Meta cut internal Claude Code users by 50% yet pays $105M/month.
- The "two customers made up 25% of revenue" stat dates from 2025 ($4.6B revenue); both were worth $1.1B combined, under 2% of the current annual run rate.
