Akamai Stock Surges After $12 Billion Anthropic Deal

Akamai Technologies’ stock jumped in pre-market trading on Friday after the company agreed to provide cloud-computing services to Anthropic in a deal valued at $12 billion.
Under the agreement, Anthropic will pay $11.6 billion over seven years to use CPU capacity from Akamai Cloud’s distributed AI infrastructure and software. The companies also have the option to expand the agreement by an additional $9 billion in revenue.
As part of the deal, Anthropic will receive warrants allowing it to purchase up to 5% of Akamai’s outstanding shares at an exercise price of $111.33.

The deal requires Akamai to make upfront investments before the Anthropic money starts rolling in.

Akamai expects no revenue this year, approximately $150 million to $300 million in 2027, and a continued ramp higher to reach $1.7 billion per year.

That will require $5.5 billion in capital expenditure, including $1.7 billion this year. MarketWatch reports.
