Michael Burry (
@michaeljburry) warns Anthropic's IPO filing exposes a dangerous web of circular financing across the AI boom. $QQQ $SMH
Anthropic disclosed $537B in compute commitments, while quarterly revenue growth slowed to 46%.
$AMZN, $GOOGL, and $MSFT act as both cloud providers and equity backers, compounding potential downturns.
Forward PEG ratio:
Alphabet = 2.1
Microsoft = 1.7
Seeking Alpha Quant Rating for Alphabet: Hold.
Seeking Alpha Quant Rating for Microsoft: Hold.
For Burry's thesis to fail, rising model efficiency must generate massive volume rather than shrink compute demand.
Is the AI boom built on circular financing?
