Extended read
Beyond its core search and cloud businesses, Alphabet operates a significant venture capital arm that holds stakes in some of the world's most valuable private companies. A recent analysis draws attention to two of its largest holdings: a 7% stake in SpaceX and a 14% stake in Anthropic. With both companies reportedly on a path to an IPO, investors are beginning to calculate the potential value unlock for Alphabet. Based on reported private market valuations, these two stakes alone could be worth over $250 billion. As these companies go public, it will provide a clear, liquid mark for these assets, which may not be fully appreciated in Alphabet's current sum-of-the-parts valuation.
