Anthropic came up during a recent meeting between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Secretary Hegseth. But the conversation didn't go as you'd expect. Despite Anthropic being perhaps Amazon's most important partner right now ... Hegseth didn't defense the company. More below.

When companies grow fast, it makes founders doubly rich. The company not only hits a given revenue number sooner, but is *more valuable when it hits it*, because the value of the company will be a multiple of the growth rate.

Anthropic just hit $19B in revenue. That's up $5B in the last few weeks. As a reference point, the median revenue for the 2025 Fortune 500 is $16.64 billion. Anthropic is massive. [image]

Anthropic grew their revenue run rate from $14B to $19B, in just the last few weeks. Adding $5B, just like that, is actually insane. We've never seen big numbers, move so quickly.

People who don't understand the math of valuations can't imagine that founders could get so rich naturally. Whereas to founders and investors it's the most obvious thing in the world. This is one of the reasons there is such a disconnect between the tech world and politicians.

I have some real doubts about this, and how Anthropic is calculating ARR. It was at $14 billion ($1.16bn over 30 days) on Feb 12, and now it's at $19 billion ($1.58 billion over 30 days). They're either being outright deceitful or moving days around with no regard for potential…
