Leaked S-1 filing documents reveal that Anthropic expects to spend upwards of $750 billion on cloud contracts. Despite this staggering commitment, the supply remains insufficient. The company is now actively leasing its own data centers and seeking third-party operators, though it remains wary of their limited track records compared to the reliability of established hyperscalers.
Financial strain looms over these expansion efforts. Anthropic reported an $80.7 billion net loss in the first half of the year against $16.3 billion in revenue, with a heavy reliance on just two major customers for roughly 20% of its sales. Furthermore, the company faces potential legal exposure, warning investors that damages from harmful AI behavior could easily eclipse its current insurance coverage. Despite these risks, Anthropic reported third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion—a 45% increase—as it eyes a public debut in November.
