According to a report by WSJ, Anthropic's revenue is expected to reach $10.9 billion in the second quarter, more than doubling from $4.8 billion in the first quarter, and the company is projected to achieve operational profitability for the first time. However, due to its massive computing power demands, profitability may not be sustained throughout the entire year. The operating profit calculation has already factored in costs for training new models but excludes stock-based compensation expenses.As part of an ongoing funding round, Anthropic disclosed these figures to investors. This funding round is likely to push its valuation above that of OpenAI.Last summer, Anthropic shared financial data with investors, which at the time indicated that the company would not achieve full-year profitability until at least 2028.
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has declined approximately 40% from its all-time high in October 2025, yet long-term valuation models indicate substantial upside potential remains. Based on the “Bitcoin Decay Channel” measurement of long-term trends, Bitcoin’s conservative year-end price range has been revised upward to $90,000–$255,000, with the high-end scenario reaching as high as $255,000. This model fits a logarithmic decay trend to historical cycle highs and lows, showing that BTC prices at the peaks of the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles all approached the upper channel boundary, while bear market bottoms fell near the lower boundary. Analyst Sminston stated that Bitcoin remains within a historic, long-term upward channel and noted that the price range for 2027 could further expand to $128,000–$308,000.
According to the UK’s Financial Times, AI company Anthropic is considering launching a new funding round this summer, with a maximum fundraising target of $50 billion and a pre-money valuation of approximately $900 billion—potentially surpassing OpenAI (valued at $852 billion in March) to become the world’s most highly valued AI company. So far, investment firms including Dragoneer, General Catalyst, and Lightspeed Venture Partners have proactively expressed interest in investing. Sources indicate that Anthropic’s annualized revenue is poised to exceed $45 billion—roughly five times its $9 billion year-end figure from last year. This funding round is expected to close within two months and pave the way for an IPO later this year.
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Michael Saylor, has been accelerating its Bitcoin acquisitions this year. JPMorgan analysts stated that if the current pace continues, the company's total Bitcoin purchases for the year could reach approximately $30 billion. So far this year, Strategy has added 145,834 Bitcoin to its holdings, valued at around $11 billion. Analysis indicates that a significant portion of the company's purchases occurred when Bitcoin was below its average cost of roughly $75,000, reflecting a more "opportunistic" allocation strategy.At the current rate, Strategy's total Bitcoin purchases in 2026 could significantly exceed the approximately $22 billion levels seen in 2024 and 2025. Analysts noted that the company has re-accelerated its buying since April, suggesting its strategy is becoming more dependent on market conditions and financing availability. Meanwhile, Strategy's stock continues to trade at a premium of approximately 26% to its net asset value (NAV), providing favorable conditions for the company to continue purchasing Bitcoin through equity and debt financing. The company currently holds approximately 818,334 BTC, with a total value exceeding $65 billion. (The Block)
