Anthropic手握的现金,比美国几乎所有公司都要多。

这家成立近6年的人工智能实验室在周一向美国证券交易委员会提交的S-1文件中披露,截至6月30日,该公司拥有1124亿美元现金,另有193亿美元的短期投资。

根据媒体和标普Capital IQ汇编的数据,Anthropic总计1317亿美元的现金储备超过了除伯克希尔·哈撒韦和Alphabet之外的所有美国非银行类公司。

截至年中,Anthropic的现金储备超过了亚马逊、SpaceX、Meta和微软。英伟达与苹果两家巨头的现金储备加起来,都不及它。

有报道称,Anthropic计划在IPO中募资超1000亿美元,若成功实现这一目标,该公司现金储备将进一步攀升至2300亿美元以上。

截至目前,Anthropic尚未披露本次发行规模的具体细节。该公司在招股文件中说明,现有股东也会在本次IPO中出售所持股份,这意味着募资款项不会全部进入公司账户。相关细节预计在大约两周后公布。

值得注意的是,历史上从来没有哪家公司,上市时就手握如此巨量的现金。

强大的筹资能力

Anthropic的巨额资金突显了其强大的筹资能力,使其在成立仅六年的时间里积累了总计1410亿美元的私人融资。

但另一方面,公司还有大量算力采购远期待付承诺尚未计入当期费用,Anthropic仍需要持续通过融资或者实现盈利来积累现金,才能兑现这些付款义务。

Anthropic 上半年的计算和基础设施支出总计为89.5亿美元。但该公司表示,其通常会提前12到18个月购买计算能力,并且仅在该算力可用时才确认支出。这意味着上半年的支出数字并未涵盖其未来义务的全部规模。

招股书披露,截至6月30日,Anthropic未折现的未来租赁义务估计达3214亿美元,未来固定或最低担保承诺预计达2656亿美元——总计超过5000亿美元。这些款项须在未来数年内陆续支付。

此外,自6月30日以来,Anthropic又签订了一批新协议和修订协议,新增最低远期付款义务约 2450 亿美元。

简而言之,如果说Anthropic的现金为“王”,那么算力就是其王冠上最大的枷锁。
