Start here
Anthropic's S-1 prospectus discloses that the company confirms a violating customer's revenue before banning them, and this revenue accounted for 5% to 7% of revenue in the first 9 months of 2026. Based on this, blogger MinLiBuilds calculated that, under an extreme zero-cost assumption, this $1.65 billion to $2.32 billion is nearly pure profit, accounting for about 45% to 64% of the $3.64 billion adjusted operating profit in the first three quarters. The prospectus also states that the company strengthened enforcement against violating accounts from August to September of the same year, and acknowledges that risk controls may mistakenly affect users.
