Anthropic's updated IPO filing on Tuesday revealed how many Anthropic shares Amazon and Google are expected to hold, as well as the return on their early investments. Both tech giants won't hold voting shares in Anthropic, so antitrust regulators need not worry about them influencing Anthropic's management. However, the shareholding size of the two companies is still quite impressive. In theory, Amazon could hold about 20% of Anthropic's issued shares. However, since Amazon has set its own shareholding limit, its actual shareholding ratio will not exceed 12%, and the rest of the investment is held in the form of convertible notes, which can be converted into equity over time. In any case, Amazon's return on investment is quite impressive. Without considering the shareholding limit for now, if calculated according to the median value of Anthropic's proposed IPO price range, the value of about 20% of Amazon's shares will reach 258 billion US dollars, and its total investment amount is about 18.6 billion US dollars. Google's return on investment is slightly lower. The company will eventually hold about 10% of Anthropic's shares, worth about $132 billion, while its total investment is around $33 billion. However, the return is still quite impressive.
