Nscale’s IPO will test Wall Street’s appetite for concentrated AI bets once again
Nscale’s IPO pitch rests on $103 billion in contracts, but most of that is tied to Microsoft and Anthropic.
About 85% of the contract value comes from a Microsoft compute deal through 2033 and a separate Anthropic supply agreement. Anthropic’s deal depends on Nscale securing financing, and the filing says the company must meet “stringent” milestones. Nscale is reportedly seeking a $35 billion valuation and a $3 billion raise while losses widened to $1.02 billion in the first half. TechCrunch AI's note
