James Pethokoukis reviews Google's venture capital portfolio, describing it as one of the best performing globally. He highlights Google's $900 million investment in SpaceX, now valued at around $125 billion, which represents a 140-fold return. Pethokoukis also points to a $13 billion investment in Anthropic, currently worth about $135 billion, for a 10.5x return.
These figures underscore the scale of gains within Google's venture investments.
Pethokoukis previously noted SpaceX’s valuation jump, attributing it to Elon Musk’s public influence rather than business fundamentals in a recent article. He has also reported on Goldman Sachs flagging conservative estimates for hyperscaler capital expenditures in 2027. These topics reflect Pethokoukis’s continued coverage of major shifts in technology and venture markets.
