Anthropic’s early‑year tender offer attracted up to $6 billion from investors but most employees declined to sell, leaving the secondary sale far short of its $350 billion valuation target. Within three months the firm sealed a fresh $30 billion financing round at a $900 billion valuation—nearly tripling its worth—after its annualized revenue run‑rate jumped from $19 billion in March to $30 billion in April and is poised to exceed $45 billion. Employees who held onto their equity avoided cashing out at the earlier valuation and instead stand to benefit from the rapid appreciation, which also signaled confidence in an imminent IPO slated for as early as October that could raise over $60 billion and push the company’s market value toward $1 trillion on the secondary market. The new round was co‑led by Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia Capital and Altimeter Capital, all of which also back rival OpenAI.

Donald Trump arrived in Beijing atop Air Force One accompanied by a heavyweight delegation of U.S. business leaders and billionaires whose combined net worth exceeds a trillion dollars, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook (referred to as “Tim Apple”), Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, leaders from Apple, Boeing, Meta, Mastercard, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Micron and others, as well as filmmaker Brett Ratner. Trump announced that his first request of President Xi will be to “open up” China for these companies to make deals, hoping to revive U.S.‑China trade after recent tariffs that have slashed Chinese purchases of American goods. The entourage also sparked controversy, with Musk facing potential legal trouble for traveling abroad despite a court order, and Trump defending the inclusion of Huang after a media report claimed he had been snubbed. The trip underscores Trump’s pattern of surrounding himself with corporate titans to pursue economic and diplomatic goals in China.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, 81, argued on the Politicon podcast that President Donald Trump’s two‑day trip to Beijing is a personal “grift” rather than a genuine diplomatic effort. Citing the presence of billionaire tech and finance executives—Elon Musk, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Apple’s Tim Cook, Goldman Sachs’s David Solomon and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—and the absence of China experts or First Lady Melania Trump, Carville claimed the president is using the visit to secure lucrative investment opportunities and line his own pockets, saying Trump “does not give a s‑—t about anyone else.” Trump, meanwhile, posted on Truth Social that he will ask President Xi Jinping to open China to U.S. businesses, touting the trip as beneficial for both nations.
