It's hard to stay on top of everything happening in your industry, and it's even harder to stay on top of all the information available today. But here's the thing: our ability to consume and process information quickly is what defines us.
So, here's a list that can help you:
On Monday we announced an equity offering for Alphabet - part of our multi-year investment strategy to meet the AI opportunity ahead and support the demand we’re seeing from enterprises and consumers. Pleased to share the offering was well over-subscribed. We raised a total of ~$45B, with an additional $40B to come as part of an “at the market” program starting in Q3 (for a total of ~ $85B). A huge thank you to our investors, including Berkshire Hathaway who invested $10B.
US stocks continued to climb in May 2026, with the S&P 500 up 5.1% and treasury rates leveled off at 4.44% (up from 4.40%). The ERP for the index declined from 4.36% to 4.31%, as a surge in earnings partially offset higher stock prices. https://t.co/wy8WGu8WcI
JUST IN: GOOGLE $GOOGL JUST ANNOUNCED AN $80 BILLION CAPITAL RAISE TO BUILD AI INFRASTRUCTURE
And Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B is writing a $10 billion check to get in.
Here's the full breakdown:
THE DEAL:
- $30B in underwritten public offerings
- $40B through an at-the-market stock program starting Q3 2026
- $10B private placement to Berkshire Hathaway
THE BERKSHIRE PIECE:
- $5B in Class A Common Stock at $351.81 per share
- $5B in Class C Capital Stock at $348.20 per share
- Berkshire has been building this position since Q3 2025
THE PURPOSE:
- Scale AI compute infrastructure to meet "unprecedented customer demand"
- Approximately $30B of the ATM proceeds will cover 2026 employee equity tax obligations
- Remaining proceeds go directly to AI infrastructure buildout
Anthropic just raised $65bn, nearly trebling its valuation to $900bn and leapfrogging OpenAI as the most valuable AI lab in the world.
This round comes barely three months after Anthropic raised $30bn at a $350bn valuation. Its run-rate revenue crossed $47bn this month, a more than fivefold jump since the start of the year.
So what is the money actually pricing in?
I think it is pricing speed, the sheer rate at which revenue is compounding, rather than profit or any settled moat.
We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.

JPMorgan Chase currently holds roughly 11%–11.3% of US retail deposits, depending on the reporting period.

One bank effectively controls more than 1 out of every 9 dollars deposited in US banks.
In the times of democratisation of knowledge, some professionals charge a bomb to teach AI to others in India. Pretty much says how AI would find it difficult to penetrate in India

Making compliance preventive than reactive.
One founder showed up to @suhasasumukh’s Bangalore Hacker House with just an idea and left with a top AI model.
Built entirely pre-incorporation from the house.
"...in a month or two, he got over 6,000 downloads on @huggingface and @southpkcommons also invested in him after that.
And today it's the world's top 20 model on the benchmarks."
