Scoop: Anthropic wants to sell the government Claude for $1
Anthropic plans to offer its products to the federal government for as little as $1.
Please read this now. Urgent opportunity.
Larry Benedict says it's “the most consistently profitable method he's ever seen”… He calls it “Bitcoin Skimming”… It doesn't involve buying or selling Bitcoin at all. You don't need to invest a single penny in any cryptocurrency.
Everyone’s ignoring how a mid-year stake shuffle, like Avantax’s bump in Molina Healthcare and its bond ETF buy, signals bigger institutional rotations under the radar. While traders fixate on RBI noise in Markets rally over half percent despite global headwinds as RBI policy looms (BusinessLine), giant advisors are quietly shifting capital toward defensive sectors. That’s a canary in the coal mine—when money managers pivot, they’re tilting portfolios long on healthcare and short on utility drag. Hell, overlook that at your own risk.
Now look at two “totally unrelated” headlines—Anthropic’s offer to sell Claude for $1 to government from Axios and Michigan State Pension tripling Bitcoin ETF exposure (Decrypt). One screams bargain basement policy capture, the other a rush into crypto for yield and diversification. Combine the dots: policy-driven tech spending won’t save you if institutional treasuries are chasing digital assets. Don’t fall for that bullshit policy story.
Here’s the takeaway—if you’re overweight on bank stocks expecting a policy tailwind, lighten up. Reallocate a slice into high-conviction healthcare plays like Molina or biochar innovators from the “Global Biochar Market” growth story. Set tight stops on policy-sensitive positions and let your portfolio reflect where the big money is actually flowing. Damn, follow the institutional breadcrumbs.
