Bloomberg Talks

Bruce Richards, managing partner and head of CVC Marathon, says Anthropic should be able to raise substantial capital in its anticipated IPO, pointing to its rapid growth, revenue trajectory and place among trillion-dollar companies. He expects capital markets to finance Anthropic much as they have other major firms, and sees the listing as unlikely to be a test of investor appetite. Richards says open- and closed-weight AI models can coexist, comparing them with successful open and proprietary software ecosystems; he expects closed-model companies such as Anthropic to capture significant profits. He is broadly constructive on the company, citing strong demand for AI and a shortage of computing capacity.

At an agricultural commodity futures conference in Kansas, Bloomberg’s Tyler Kendall speaks with Kalshi CEO and Co-founder Tarek Mansour about the growing role of prediction markets in elections and the regulatory challenges facing the industry. Mansour calls this the first election in which prediction-market use is becoming institutionalized, saying campaigns rely on the markets for real-time information that he argues can be more accurate than polls. He says Kalshi is engaging with policymakers from both parties and supports regulation, including clear rules on prohibited markets, insider trading and participation by members of Congress and the administration, alongside customer protections.
