Bloomberg reports that artificial intelligence investment is delivering the largest capital-expenditure-driven boost to GDP in history. Spending by Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon is projected to reach roughly $725 billion in 2026, potentially accounting for over a quarter of U.S. economic growth. The same momentum is feeding optimism around Anthropic's valuation prospects.
Artificial intelligence investment is delivering the largest capital-expenditure-driven boost to GDP in history, Bloomberg reports, with spending from major technology firms projected to hit approximately $725 billion in 2026.
The surge centers on Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, whose combined AI spending could account for over a quarter of the growth in the U.S. economy. The capital is flowing into AI infrastructure and development, giving the sector a growing weight on broader economic trends and financial markets.
That momentum is also shaping expectations around Anthropic's valuation. Market participants appear optimistic about the company's growth potential, and prediction markets suggest a high probability of Anthropic reaching substantial valuation milestones by the end of the year. Capital inflows and strategic partnerships are likely to bolster that valuation further, according to the report.
