Alphabet's Stake in SpaceX Reaches $94.1 Billion; Anthropic Investment Valued at Over $124 Billion
In its second-quarter filing with regulators, Alphabet revealed the substantial value of its investments in SpaceX and AI startup Anthropic. Its stake in SpaceX is now worth an impressive $94.1 billion, up from a $900 million investment made back in January 2015 when SpaceX was valued at around $12 billion. Additionally, Alphabet's position in Anthropic appears to be even more valuable, with the carrying value of its non-marketable equity securities reaching $124.3 billion as of June 30. Much of this is attributed to Google’s stake in Anthropic, which has seen multiple rounds of investment from Alphabet over recent years. Alphabet's investments highlight a strategic shift toward AI and space exploration ventures beyond traditional cloud services. The company may soon begin monetizing its SpaceX holdings with the first part of its shares becoming eligible for sale following regulatory filings.
