The story
Anthropic has closed a $65B Series H at a $965B post-money valuation, making it the most valuable AI startup globally and setting the stage for a potential IPO. Amazon (primary backer) and Alphabet (secondary backer) are the two public-market proxies for Anthropic exposure, creating a re-rating catalyst for both names.
