    Alphabet's SpaceX and Anthropic Stakes Surge to $218B Combined

    Question

    Alphabet's SpaceX and Anthropic Stakes Surge to $218B Combined

    Direct answer

    Alphabet's balance sheet is increasingly defined by its successful venture investments. The SpaceX stake, originating from a $900M investment in 2015, has reached $94.1B. Crucially, $80B of this will see lock-up restrictions begin to lift in August 2026, potentially allowing Alphabet to monetize or distribute these gains. Furthermore, the $124.3B valuation of its Anthropic stake underscores Alphabet's multi-pronged AI strategy. These 'hidden' assets may help offset investor anxiety regarding the $200B in projected AI capex for the current year.
