Amazon invested roughly $13 billion in AI company Anthropic, a stake now worth approximately $190 billion, representing 14x paper returns. Anthropic’s valuation reached $965 billion following a Series H funding round in May 2026, up from $74 billion in March 2026. Amazon also holds an option to deploy up to $20 billion more contingent on performance milestones. Anthropic committed to spending over $100 billion on AWS cloud services over the next decade, locking in a massive long-term customer for Amazon’s most important business unit. This is particularly relevant for crypto, as AWS already supports a significant portion of blockchain infrastructure, and Anthropic’s deep AWS integration is expected to accelerate AI tools for on-chain transactions.
