OpenAI raising at $1.25T valuation; investor says Anthropic should price at $1.5T
bindureddy · x · 2026-10-23
Entrepreneur Binde R brown claims OpenAI is accepting financing at a $1.25T valuation with roughly an equal amount of revenue. He argues Anthropic should therefore price itself at $1.5T to stay competitive ahead of an IPO, and that lower per-share prices would unlock significantly more retail demand. Unofficial back-of-envelope industry math, not a confirmed deal.
