Odaily News: Some existing investors in Anthropic expect that the company's valuation could exceed $2 trillion when it goes public as early as October this year. The six investors interviewed believe that demand for Claude and rapid revenue growth could push Anthropic's valuation to double from the $965 billion recorded in May this year.

Anthropic disclosed in May that its annualized revenue had surpassed $47 billion, and some investors expect it could reach $100 billion to $120 billion by the end of the year. One investor, applying a revenue multiple of roughly 30 times, believes Anthropic's valuation could reach as high as $3 trillion.

However, the above valuations are all investor projections. Several investors noted that Anthropic's management has not yet set an IPO valuation target. Low-cost AI model competition from China, its relationship with the U.S. government, and corporate controls on AI spending are still seen as potential risks. (FT)

According to monitoring by the PPP prediction market tool, in Polymarket's "2026 U.S. Midterm Election Congressional Control" prediction market, the probability of Democrats controlling both the Senate and the House is currently reported at 50%; the probability of Republicans controlling the Senate and Democrats controlling the House is reported at 38%; and the probability of Republicans controlling both chambers is reported at 12%.

According to the settlement rules, this market will be settled based on which party—Democratic or Republican—controls the Senate and the House following the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. In principle, the party that wins a majority of seats in each chamber gains control. However, if no party wins a majority of seats, the party that holds half of the voting seats while also occupying the U.S. Vice Presidency will be deemed to control the Senate.

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections will officially take place on November 3, 2026. Jesse Spiro, a Tether U.S. executive, previously stated that the 2026 U.S. midterm elections could reshape the congressional political landscape, thereby affecting the regulatory progress the crypto industry has achieved in Washington over the past two years.
