Sometimes I wonder how companies like Amazon arrive at those numbers? Why 2.7 billion? Why not 1 billion or 3 billion? I am very curious in this case why that number is the sweet spot that ensures optimal returns.
- eyjafjallajokul 3y agoFrom the article, > The tech and cloud giant said Wednesday it would spend another $2.75 billion backing Anthropic, adding to its initial $1.25 billion check.
- saganus 3y agoThat doesn't explain anything though.
- scottyah 3y agoIt does give it the round number that OP was asking about.

- saganus 3y agoRight, but still doesn't explain why 4 billions instead of 1 or 10. I think the OP was expecting something like "we value the company at 8 billions because reasons, so we want to fund for half of it" or something like that.

- seydor 3y agoThey had promised a $4B overall investment in september. This is the last tranche i guess?
- slim 3y agoindeed it would be a great money laundering scheme. 2.7B will disappear from the books without leaving a trace. they were literally used to heat the atmosphere.
