Anthropic earned more than $2.3 billion from blocked customers.
During the period from January to September, the company earned $33.2 billion, of which, according to Vedomosti, about 5-7% can secure payments from customers caught in a wave of blocks.
We are talking about accounts from unsupported countries, including Russia, China and Iran. Anthropic stepped up checks in August and September, and a mass blocking of Russian accounts began in October. In a September report, the company identified the sale of re-access without permission and the activation of accounts from unsupported countries as signs of abuse.
The revenue figures were known from the prospectus for the Nasdaq IPO, for which the company is preparing.
