Context
If the figure is right, Anthropic would have one of the largest cash piles of any non bank US company, but the post does not cite a source.
Unusual Whales posted on November 13 that Anthropic holds $131.7B in cash and short term investments, which it said is the third largest such pile of any non bank US company, behind Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet. The post lists figures for several other companies as well. It does not cite a filing, an Anthropic statement or any other source, and Anthropic has not confirmed the $131.7B figure in the posts scanned.
Deep dive
Unusual Whales posted on November 13 that Anthropic is sitting on the third largest pile of cash and short term investments of any non bank US company. The post lists cash plus short term investments as Berkshire Hathaway $365.5B, Alphabet $242.5B, Anthropic $131.7B, Amazon $123B, SpaceX $100B, Meta $90.3B, Microsoft $76.8B, Nvidia $62.5B and Apple $62.4B.
The post does not say where the figures come from, when they were measured or whether they come from filings, estimates or some other dataset. Anthropic has not confirmed the $131.7B figure in the posts scanned, and no official Anthropic or SEC document was linked in the post. The numbers should be treated as secondhand data from Unusual Whales, not as confirmed company totals.
Anthropic published its official IPO site on November 12, which the November 12 deck already covers, including a reported $17.0B in third quarter revenue. That site is a first hand company source for Anthropic's offering, but it is not cited in the Unusual Whales post as the basis for the cash figure.
What to expect next
Watch Anthropic's IPO prospectus and other SEC filings for an official cash and investments total that can be checked against the $131.7B figure. If Unusual Whales or another outlet later names a source or a date for the list, that would make the comparison more useful. Until a first hand figure appears, treat the ranking and the $131.7B total as unconfirmed.
