Anthropic's IPO reveals a rare ownership structure where major venture capital firms hold less than 5% stakes due to the company's massive $965 billion valuation. Instead, tech giants Amazon and Google stand to gain the most, with Amazon holding $6.2 billion in convertible notes valued at nearly $98 billion and $10 billion in preferred stock, plus a $110 billion AWS spending commitment from Anthropic. Google also holds a significant stake and cloud deal commitments exceeding $114 billion. This setup highlights how strategic partnerships, not just traditional VC stakes, can yield huge returns in tech IPOs, though it also raises potential conflicts as cloud providers may compete with Anthropic in AI development.
Amazon shares are trading at USD 253.57 on Pluang as of Oct 28, 2026 08:31 WIB, showing a 1.80% gain for the day. Google is also up, priced at USD 321.97 with a 2.48% increase over the same period. These price movements coincide with the news of their significant stakes and cloud commitments in Anthropic's IPO, reflecting strong investor interest in these tech giants.
