Anthropic is reportedly preparing for an IPO in November at a targeted valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, while its total compute commitments exceed $600 billion.
According to reported draft IPO materials cited by The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic posted a net loss of more than $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026. About $72 billion was tied to accounting charges related to valuation changes in convertible notes and other financing instruments. First-half revenue was $16.3 billion, while third-quarter revenue rose 45% quarter over quarter to $16.8 billion.
The company’s compute spending could reach as much as $750 billion, including up to $86 billion for Nvidia chip leases. Anthropic spent about $9 billion on compute in the first half of 2026, after $7.33 billion in compute and infrastructure spending during 2025.
Reported cloud commitments include about $111 billion with Google Cloud, $110 billion with Amazon AWS, and about $31 billion with Microsoft. Anthropic is also reportedly discussing an expansion with Nscale that could add about 460 megawatts of capacity at the Monarch data center campus in West Virginia using Nvidia Vera Rubin chips. If completed, Anthropic’s total contract commitments with Nscale would rise to about $90 billion.
The IPO filing will place attention on compute obligations, cash flow and the definition of Anthropic’s reported adjusted profitability. The company said it reached adjusted profitability in the second quarter of 2026, while full audited financial data have not yet been disclosed.

Soybean and corn futures sank to fresh multi-week lows on Tuesday amid fund selling and active harvesting of large expected US crops.
November soybeans fell to $12.48-1/4 a bushel the lowest since August 26 while December corn dropped to $4.62 its lowest since August 12 with wheat also sliding to its lowest since mid-July.
Continued favorable harvest weather and large supplies could keep pressure on grain prices in the near term.

December live cattle gained 2.150 cents to 230.175 cents per pound after breaking above its 200-day moving average while choice wholesale beef prices climbed $2.56 to $374.14 per hundredweight.
Persistent tight cattle supplies could continue to support prices over the longer term.
Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $83,000 after trading at $82,000, while ETH, XRP and Dogecoin each jumped 3%, according to the supplied event context. Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $526.6 million in flows, providing the immediate catalyst cited for the move.

Arkansas's restrictions on foreign-controlled Bitcoin mining operations remain blocked as the Eighth Circuit considers whether to reinstate the state's enforcement authority. The laws target businesses controlled by foreign parties tied to countries on the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations list, while a federal preliminary injunction currently allows affected operators to continue operating during litigation. The appeals court's decision could determine whether Arkansas can enforce the restrictions and influence similar measures considered by other states.
U.S. hard red winter wheat futures fell to a three-month low on Tuesday, while cash basis bids across the southern Plains remained flat to higher. December Kansas City wheat futures settled down 8.5 cents at $6.99½ per bushel, while winter wheat planting reached 63%, below the 65% analysts expected and the five-year average of 69%. Slower-than-expected planting could support wheat prices if crop progress remains behind, though continued futures weakness may keep pressure on the market.
Fidelity Digital Assets identifies perpetual preferred stock offerings by Bitcoin treasury companies as a growing source of BTC demand, financing purchases of 135,979 BTC in just over a year, or more than 0.5% of total supply. Issuers raised over $7 billion through these offerings between March and May 2026, funding purchases of more than 95,000 BTC during those three months. Continued issuance could strengthen Bitcoin buying pressure by attracting fixed-income investors, although persistent dividend obligations could create risks during a prolonged BTC downturn.

Super Micro expects FY2027 first-quarter gross margin of 12.0%-12.5%, above its prior guidance of 10.4%-10.8%.
The revised outlook points to a more profitable product and customer mix than previously anticipated. For the AI server market, the update shifts attention toward whether revenue growth can be delivered alongside improved margins, rather than shipment volume alone.
The next test is Super Micro's quarterly results and whether reported gross margin lands within the updated 12.0%-12.5% range.
U.S. crude oil inventories plunged by 4.93 million barrels, significantly exceeding expectations for a 1.3 million-barrel draw and signaling a larger-than-anticipated tightening in crude stocks. Gasoline inventories fell by 2 million barrels and distillate stocks dropped by 2.6 million barrels, while U.S. oil production declined to 13.679 million barrels per day. The larger inventory draw and lower production could support WTI crude prices, although rising inventories at the Cushing delivery hub may temper the bullish outlook.
U.S. stocks delivered a mixed session as strong corporate earnings supported the Dow and S&P 500, while concerns over debt-fueled AI infrastructure spending weighed on technology sentiment. The Dow jumped 1.02% and the S&P 500 gained 0.28%, while the Nasdaq slipped 0.02%; CoreWeave's debt exposure and rising financing costs highlighted risks to the AI investment boom. Persistent credit concerns could pressure technology stocks and intensify volatility if borrowing costs continue to rise.

Voting on Osmosis proposal 1053 to end OSMO inflation closes on 25 October 2026.
The proposal would cut daily OSMO minting from 91,324 tokens to zero and shift staking rewards to be funded entirely by protocol revenue, while an ongoing supply burn of about 2% a year continues.
If approved the changes could reduce OSMO supply growth and may support the token depending on protocol revenue levels.
Bittensor activated eTAO on 20 October 2026, enabling subnet owners to set how alpha emissions are split among owners, validators and miners within protocol limits.
Existing subnets retain their current splits until owners choose to change them, while root TAO stakers keep their baseline share before subnet allocations are made.
This update could allow more tailored subnet incentives while helping protect overall TAO staking rewards.
Grvt has launched its upgraded Earn product in October 2026 offering users up to 11% returns on savings.

The market appears almost entirely focused on mild temperature forecasts stretching into next month, with Nymex November delivery settling down 3.1% at $2.9630 per mmBtu according to Ritterbusch & Associates.
Continued mild conditions could pressure prices further, though a colder than normal November may trigger a sharp upside reversal given the small storage surplus.
Wheat futures for December delivery fell 1.9% to $6.42 3/4 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade Tuesday, leading the grain complex lower amid rising sentiment of peace in the Black Sea and Middle East conflicts.
Corn for December fell 1.2% to $4.61 1/2 and soybeans for November declined 0.5% to $12.47 1/2 as harvest progress improved and energy prices slid, while soybeans received support from a confirmed 612,000 metric ton USDA flash sale to China.
Further progress on peace talks could continue to reduce risk premiums in grain futures, although lagging corn harvest and strong yield expectations may limit additional downside.
