A cluster of premarket developments on Aug. 18 drew attention across U.S. equities and crypto-linked circles. Premarket trading turned weaker across the three major U.S. stock indexes, as well as storage and optical communications names, after renewed focus on Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate. Bloomberg had previously reported that Anthropic’s run rate stood at about $65 billion as of the end of July, below some third-party data points and bullish AI-sector expectations that had pointed to more than $80 billion. The gap fueled concern that growth may be losing momentum. Separate filings-based data showed that in the first half of 2026, more than a dozen family offices collectively held at least $3.8 billion worth of SpaceX shares. Prediction markets were also pricing a 55% chance that Tesla and SpaceX merge before 2027. Elsewhere, Meta Platforms was set to face trial Tuesday local time in a major case involving alleged harm to child safety and privacy violations. Super League rose more than 20% in premarket trading after receiving a 2,100 BTC capital injection from Metaplanet plus an additional $2.5 million in cash, with Metaplanet expected to own about 95.7% of Superplanet after the deal closes. Bank of America’s latest global fund manager survey showed equity allocations at their highest level in nearly five years, while Goldman Sachs announced an agreement to acquire LCN Capital Partners.
