- Ed Zitron analyzed Anthropic's public annualized revenue figures and compared them to the CFO's sworn affidavit stating total revenue exceeded $5 billion.
- By converting annualized revenue announcements into implied monthly revenues and summing them, cumulative revenue is estimated at roughly $6.66 billion, contradicting the affidavit.
- The discrepancy suggests Anthropic may have overstated its revenue growth to the public, misleading investors and the press about its actual business scale.
