- Nscale is pursuing a $35 billion IPO backed by Nvidia, and Bloomberg reports that Anthropic and Microsoft together account for $103 billion of its data center contracts.
- Nscale buried a ByteDance deal in its IPO filings according to the FT, while Barchart flags that the company's 1,252% revenue surge is not the most important number in the offering.
Why it matters: Two customers — Anthropic and Microsoft — represent $103 billion of Nscale's contracted revenue, leaving the $35 billion valuation exposed to extreme concentration risk; the FT-reported concealment of a ByteDance deal adds a disclosure-integrity question for prospective IPO investors.
