Anthropic’s IPO filing shows $131.7B in cash and short-term investments, a bigger pile than Amazon’s or Microsoft’s. Among non-bank US companies, only Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet hold more, and Anthropic’s total exceeds Nvidia’s and Apple’s combined. Its cash and equivalents jumped from $17.4B at the end of 2025 to $112.4B by June 30. That pile earns more than operations lose: $1.1B in first-half interest income against a $693M operating loss. Against that cash, undiscounted obligations for leases not yet started rose from $50.2B at the end of 2025 to $321.4B by June 30, alongside $265.6B in fixed or minimum-guaranteed commitments. After June 30, Anthropic signed new and amended agreements with about $245B in minimum payments and has not disclosed an updated total. Those leases begin between 2026 and 2028 and run up to 20 years, and Anthropic says it may settle part of them by issuing convertible notes instead of paying cash.
