What Does the Filing Say About Anthropic’s Government Business?
The filing details the company’s dispute with the Department of War. In February, after Anthropic stated publicly that its technology should not be used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, President Donald Trump directed federal executive agencies to stop using it, and the secretary of war ordered DOW to designate the company a supply-chain risk to national security. In March, the department sent two letters to Anthropic asserting that risk, one under 10 U.S.C. § 3252 and one under Section 4713 of the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act.
Anthropic challenged both. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California largely granted summary judgment in its favor on Aug. 27, ruling the actions were retaliation for speech protected under the First Amendment and violated the company’s due process rights. The D.C. Circuit denied Anthropic’s petition for review on Sept. 25 in a 2-to-1 decision, holding the Section 4713 designation proper. Anthropic has petitioned for rehearing en banc.
The filing also notes that the Commerce Department imposed worldwide export restrictions on the company’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, which Anthropic disabled until the restrictions were lifted, and that its subsidiary Anthropic Public Institutions holds a facility security clearance for classified contracts.
How Did Anthropic Perform Financially?
Anthropic reported revenue of $16.29 billion for the six months ended June 30, up from $1.16 billion in the same period a year earlier. Full-year 2025 revenue was $4.59 billion against $386 million in 2024.
Net losses were $80.75 billion for the first half of 2026 and $41.97 billion for 2025. The filing attributes the bulk of those losses to changes in the fair value of convertible notes, with that line accounting for $72.39 billion of the six-month figure. Operating loss for the period was $693 million, and the company reported operating income of $974 million for the quarter ended June 30.
The company had approximately 5,300 employees as of Sept. 30 and more than 11,900 customers generating $100,000 or more in revenue on a trailing 12-month basis.
What Compute Commitments Did Anthropic Disclose?
Anthropic entered into purchase commitments and lease agreements tied to compute and infrastructure.
Major compute counterparties and obligations comprise:
- Primary cloud & AI suppliers: SpaceXAI (up to $120.5 billion), Google (~$114.5 billion) and Amazon ($110 billion).
- Strategic infrastructure partners: Microsoft ($44.9 billion), Nscale (~$44.6 billion) and Lambda (~$41.3 billion).
- Hardware equipment leases: Broadcom equipment leases totaling approximately $161.2 billion in rent payments, exclusive of interest.
The filing lists data center development constraints among Anthropic’s risk factors, including power availability, grid interconnection timelines and state-level restrictions on new facilities.
