Anthropic reported a net loss of about $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, sharply wider than the $13 billion loss recorded in the same period a year earlier. At the same time, compensation details for co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei and company President Daniela Amodei triggered fresh debate after equity awards pushed their total annual pay to roughly $18 million and $16.5 million, respectively, despite base salaries of about $655,000 each. Market views cited in the report said Anthropic is facing a wave of FUD-driven public pressure. That concern is tied in part to worries in both traditional finance and crypto that a large IPO could pull liquidity away from the market. The report added that neither traditional financial markets nor crypto participants want to see another large-scale liquidity outflow like the one associated with the SpaceX IPO period. The information was attributed to the New York Post.
Anthropic posted a net loss of about $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, sharply wider than the $13 billion loss reported in the same period last year, according to an Odaily report citing the New York Post.
The company also came under heavier scrutiny after compensation details involving its co-founder siblings became public. Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s co-founder and chief executive officer, and his sister Daniela Amodei, the company’s president, each receive base annual salaries of about $655,000. After stock and option awards were included, their total annual compensation reached about $18 million and $16.5 million, respectively.
Market views cited in the report said Anthropic is now dealing with a wave of FUD-driven public pressure. The concern may be linked to worries in both traditional financial markets and the crypto market over the potential liquidity drain that could come with a major IPO. The report said both markets do not want to see another large liquidity outflow like the one seen during the SpaceX IPO period.
