Anthropic, which officially filed to go public at a rumored valuation of up to $2 trillion dollars just a week before the elections.

As Bloomberg reports, those prospects are in free fall as the chaos takes hold. Some investors are now weighing bids that would value Anthropic as low as $1.1 trillion. While that’s still a huge valuation for a company that lost over $80 billion in the first half of 2026 alone, it’s a massive drop compared to the previously unbridled enthusiasm surrounding the firm’s IPO.

$3.50, final offer. You could bribe me with a good sandwich though too i suppose.

Sandwich-heavy portfolio made the hungry investor happy.

I think you're 5x too low. $400b in non-cancellable contracts.

Ooh, it must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat, you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty."
