Anthropic's S-1 shows its largest outside economic stakes will sit with Amazon and Google, the companies that sell it compute. The obvious read is a venture windfall, but the filing says the infrastructure owners come first.
1. What the filing shows
Anthropic, PBC filed its S-1 on October 26, 2026, to list Class A shares on Nasdaq under the symbol ANT.
The filing says that after its preferred stock and convertible notes convert, Amazon and Google will each hold more than 5% of its outstanding capital stock. Those holdings are non-voting Class N shares.
No venture firm appears among the holders of more than 5% of its voting securities.
2. Amazon is lender, landlord and shareholder
Amazon's convertible notes carry USD $6.2 billion of principal outstanding and convert into as many as 1,840,444,962 Class N shares, subject to an ownership cap.
Anthropic has committed to spend at least USD $110.0 billion with Amazon between May 2026 and April 2036, regardless of actual usage.
The same company finances the model, hosts the model and owns a slice of the model.
3. Google is capped at 14.99%
Google's 2026 note purchase agreement limits its ownership to 14.99% of Anthropic's outstanding capitalization, post-money and as-converted, unless Google waives the cap.
Anthropic has committed to spend approximately USD $114.5 billion with Google between April 2026 and July 2033, regardless of actual usage.
Value accrues to whoever controls the infrastructure. Inside your company, that argues for running the judgment layer on hardware you control, the work N5R.ai does with local, on-device AI agents.
Executive Note
The story of this IPO is who paid for the compute, not only who built the model.
