Trending on X: Anthropic Surges Past $1 Trillion Valuation on Secondary Markets
What Happened
Secondary-market trades put Anthropic above $1 trillion, overtaking OpenAI in investor-implied value. The surge comes alongside Anthropic's multi-gigawatt TPU deal with Alphabet and Broadcom starting 2027, and despite recent operational stumbles — a Claude Code file exposure and unauthorized Mythos access incidents.
My Take
Secondary-market prices are mood rings, not fundamentals — but mood matters when you're raising your next $30B round. What's actually interesting is the compute story: Anthropic just became the first frontier lab to publicly bet its roadmap on non-NVIDIA silicon. If that works, it breaks the implicit "you need Jensen's blessing to compete" thesis that's held since 2023. If it doesn't, Anthropic becomes the cautionary tale. Either way, the NVIDIA monopoly gets its first real stress test in 2027.
