Anthropic's latest feud with the Trump admin may actually be helping its sales Anthropic just had a month for the record books. It surpassed OpenAI in business spending market share for the first time, raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation, and filed confidential paperwork for an IPO off the back of its first profitable quarter. Then the Trump administration forced it to pull its most advanced model, Mythos, and the public version Fable 5, off the market entirely over an export control directive. According to Ramp's lead economist, this controversy may actually be boosting Anthropic rather than hurting it. Anthropic's best month on record for business adoption was the same month the Department of Defense labeled it a supply chain risk back in March. There is real aura that comes with a model being called too dangerous to use. Ramp's data across 70,000 businesses shows Anthropic's share of business AI subscriptions hit 41% in May, edging past OpenAI's 39.5%. Businesses spending on Claude mostly favor Opus models, with Claude Code carrying a strong reputation in coding workflows. The one open question is whether public market investors will see this controversy the same way enterprise buyers do. #Anthropic #AI #OpenAI #Claude #TechPolicy #EnterpriseAI #TechNews
