Anthropic added $10b in revenue in the last month alone, twice Databricks’ annual run rate. Crossing $10b is a milestone few software companies ever reach: ServiceNow took 20 years, Shopify took 18, Palo Alto Networks took 19, & Anthropic crossed that threshold in under four years. But who’s looking backwards? How long until Anthropic is the most valuable company in the world? [](https://res.cloudinary.com/dzawgnnlr/image/upload/q_auto,f_auto/bwexqghmxwhjf1lxxupp) NVIDIA generates $215b in annual revenue & trades at 22x, producing a $4.8 trillion market cap. To surpass it, Anthropic needs $200b in annual revenue[1](#fn:1). If growth continues, three years. If it decelerates steadily, four. If it normalizes rapidly, seven[2](#fn:2).

ServiceNow needed two decades to reach $10b. Anthropic needed forty-two months; then added another Databricks in thirty days. * * * 1.
