Anthropic, the AI‑focused startup, now holds a cash reserve of $131.7 billion, a figure that eclipses the liquid assets of almost every non‑bank company in the United States.
According to a recent CNBC chart, the only U.S. firms with larger cash piles are Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet. The comparison places Anthropic’s treasury in a rare position, normally reserved for the largest conglomerates and technology giants.
While the report does not detail how Anthropic arrived at this level of liquidity, the figure underscores the firm’s significant capital backing and its potential to invest heavily in research and development.
Industry observers note that such a substantial cash position is unusual for a company of Anthropic’s size and stage, and it may provide a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving artificial‑intelligence market.
