Anthropic's leaked IPO prospectus showed that it spent $2.75 to make a dollar in 2025, making it a worse business than OpenAI. It lost $8bn on $4.6bn in revenue. Boosters will say 2025 doesn't count - or, put another way, to ignore your lying eyes. www.wheresyoured.at/dead-money/
That was originally where this newsletter ended, but the night before this was due to go out, parts of Anthropic’s S-1 leaked to Reuters, showing the shocking financial condition of the company as of the end of last year.

In 2025, Anthropic lost over $8 billion on $4.6 billion in revenue. 25% of its 2025 revenue came from two customers, and its compute costs were $7.33 billion for the year. It technically had a net loss of $42 billion, but that was stock-related and was not a cash loss. 

Reuters did not report on Anthropic’s 2026 numbers, and while in theory its economics could have improved in the last three quarters, there are reasons to believe that things have gotten worse, such as the fact that it has resorted to using adjusted margins as a means of faking a “profit” in Q3 2026. In any case, I find it strange that Reuters reported on only a section of the S-1, and if it turns out anything was held in reserve for some reason I will be deeply disappointed. I will be fair and assume it was a limited slice of the prospectus, and that Reuters will diligently report anything it finds, and it is an incredible exclusive.

So, let’s talk about how terrible of a company Anthropic was in 2025. 

It spent $12.65 billion in operating expenses to make $4.6 billion of revenue, otherwise known as spending $2.75 to make a dollar. This, shockingly, means that Anthropic was a worse business than OpenAI in 2025, when it spent $34 billion to make $13.07 billion (per my own exclusive reporting of its audited financials), or $2.60 to make $1.

While things could change in 2026, it’s important to note how many people said that Anthropic was “a better business” that would “be profitable faster than OpenAI,” which is, until we are able to see both of their audited 2026 financials, somewhere between a myth and an outright lie.

So many people told me that Anthropic was more-profitable! So many people assured me that this company had worked it all out, when in fact Dario Amodei’s horrid son was just as obese as Altman’s, a rotten, unprofitable carcass.

Boosters are already boiling their copium kegs, angrily oinking that 2026 “will be better” and that “Anthropic has been more profitable.” At this point I have less than zero interest in anything that hasn’t gone through an auditor, because it’s very clear that, through either misinforming investors or the media, Anthropic has intentionally obfuscated the full horrors of its economics.
