Anthropic will be first company to hit $1 trillion in revenue by 2029-2030. | You showed that chart, Peter, that had anthropic, you know, growing 10x year-over-year. Uh 26 billion in revenue forecasted this year. And on its current trend, we'll be the first company to hit a trillion dollars in revenue in history by 2029, 2030.

Watch events: Anthropic ARR updates quarterly; potential Oct 2026 IPO

Verbatim quote

From episode "Amazon's $35B AGI Ultimatum to OpenAI & Anthropic Drops AI Safety | EP #235"
You showed that chart, Peter, that had anthropic, you know, growing 10x year-over-year. Uh 26 billion in revenue forecasted this year. And on its current trend, we'll be the first company to hit a trillion dollars in revenue in history by 2029, 2030.

Resolution evidence

Status: pending

See 234_013. Current $30B with 10x/y would hit $300B in 2027, $3T in 2028 — collapses before $1T by 2029. More realistic 4x compound hits ~$480B by 2028, ~$1.9T by 2029. Directionally plausible, quantitatively aggressive.
