Why Anthropic's $30 trillion sales pitch ahead of its IPO could make sense

Anthropic is pitching investors on a total addressable market exceeding $30 trillion as it prepares for an initial public offering. This estimate is roughly equivalent to the entire United States economy. While some analysts view the figure as a fantasy or a sign of exaggerated AI valuations, others suggest the pitch could be logical given the scale of AI integration. The company is currently positioned as a leading candidate for the largest IPO of 2026, potentially surpassing SpaceX in that regard.
