A Message From Paradigm Press

Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you.

Dear Reader,

Jeff Bezos is terrified.

He will be down on his knees, hands out, begging Elon for mercy.

Because Elon is about to do something that will:

Cut Amazon out of the AI race ENTIRELY…

Completely DESTROY Blue Origin…

And take control of the potential $25 TRILLION DOLLAR PER YEAR AI INDUSTRY

And in his wake, potentially create 1,806,000 NEW millionaires over the coming years…

Starting September 25.

And this is your chance to be one of them.

Elon Musk is currently quietly planning the biggest project of his entire career.

And a single FCC filing proves it, click here to see why.

This is bigger than Tesla, SpaceX, and X combined.

And I believe it will not only cement Elon as the winner of the AI race…

It will allow Elon to control the entire industry.

Something of this magnitude has never happened in the history of the human race.

And it’s happening FAST.

According to my timeline, you must act by September 25.

I explain everything right here.

>>>This is your free Millionaire Maker Masterclass… and it starts right now.

Sincerely,

James Altucher

Ready to Rumble: Anthropic Rings the AI Bell

Authored by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Publication Date: 9/15/2026.

When investors assess artificial intelligence infrastructure, established hyperscalers like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and specialized operators like CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) usually dominate the discussion. However, one of the most intriguing transformations in the technology sector is emerging from an unexpected corner of digital media.

Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ: RUM) is undergoing a structural transition, shifting from an alternative video-sharing network into an enterprise compute supplier. Confirmation of a six-year, $13.7 billion hosting and compute agreement with AI research lab Anthropic has altered Rumble's operational trajectory.

This commercial agreement provides multi-year revenue visibility, decoupling Rumble's cash flow from cyclical digital advertising budgets and anchoring it to high-performance computing (HPC). For a business with trailing 12-month sales of about $100.62 million, a multibillion-dollar backlog significantly changes its valuation profile. Delivering the required physical infrastructure will create substantial operational demands, but the arrangement shows how power-ready facilities can help address the current data center capacity shortage.

The $13.7B Heavyweight Deal

Under the contract, Rumble will supply Anthropic with dedicated AI hosting and computing infrastructure over six years. The agreement represents approximately $2.28 billion in contracted annual revenue. For context, the total contract value is more than three times Rumble's market capitalization, which stood at about $3.8 billion in mid-September 2026.

The announcement prompted immediate movement across the rented-compute ecosystem. Shares of competitors CoreWeave and Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) each fell roughly 5% to 7% on Sept. 14 as details of the arrangement surfaced. Capital rotated toward Rumble, whose shares closed up 11.6% at $8.58, with trading volume topping 25 million shares—well above its 30-day average of about 3.93 million shares.

Compute customers face tight capacity constraints among legacy cloud operators. By locking in dedicated access to electrical power and server racks, Anthropic secures an independent deployment corridor for training advanced models. For Rumble, the transaction serves as third-party validation that its compute division can compete for top-tier institutional workloads.

Heavy Lifting: 22,000 GPUs Build a New Compute Grid

Rumble's move into infrastructure hardware mirrors developments across other power-intensive sectors. In recent quarters, operators ranging from cryptocurrency miners to regional industrial sites have repurposed electrical substations and cooling infrastructure to capture rising demand for AI server clusters. Rumble accelerated its transition by planning to acquire German computing operator Northern Data AG in late 2025.

In September 2026, Rumble increased its ownership of Northern Data to approximately 98% through a share exchange with strategic backer Tether (USDT), initiating squeeze-out proceedings to obtain 100% control. The integration brought in an active fleet of roughly 22,000 NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) GPUs, including H100 and H200 systems across nine operational data centers.

Rumble organized its business into two operating units: the consumer video-sharing application and Quake AI, its cloud infrastructure arm. Quake AI generated $10.1 million in revenue during its first 13 days of operation in the second quarter of 2026. Management has set a long-term target of a $3 billion annual run rate for the unit, positioning Quake AI as a dedicated compute provider.

Anthropic's workloads will center on a 250-megawatt (MW) campus currently under construction in Maysville, Georgia. The facility is expected to open with an initial phase delivering between 120 MW and 180 MW of capacity, supported by liquid-cooled infrastructure.

A Squeeze in the Ring: Elevated Short Interest Meets New Math

Sell-side analyst models have historically evaluated Rumble through the lens of a small-cap social media platform. Consensus coverage on Wall Street has tilted toward a Sell rating, weighed down by operating losses and an advertising market sensitive to broader economic cycles. Rumble recorded a net loss of $81.83 million over the trailing 12 months, including a quarterly net loss of 28 cents per share in the second quarter of 2026.

Based on trailing annual sales of $100.62 million, Rumble traded at a trailing price-to-sales multiple of approximately 33.7x. Incorporating the Anthropic backlog changes that mathematical baseline. The agreement introduces approximately $2.28 billion in annualized contracted revenue, reducing the forward price-to-contracted-sales multiple to less than 1.8x.

This shift in valuation fundamentals comes alongside significant pessimistic market positioning. Short interest has decreased substantially in the past few days but remains at about 21.7 million shares, representing approximately 8% of the publicly traded float. The days-to-cover ratio is around five days, leaving short sellers with limited exit liquidity. As institutional investors digest the pivot from speculative video streaming to contracted data center capacity, short covering could add further upward momentum to trading volume.

Going the Distance: Key Checkpoints for Patient Investors

The contract's overall scope is substantial, but investors must balance its commercial potential against significant execution requirements. Building and outfitting a 250 MW high-density facility requires considerable capital. Industry estimates indicate that a project of this scale could require between $6.4 billion and $10.25 billion in total capital expenditures. In public filings, Rumble stated that it does not have fully committed financing for the entire buildout, pointing to potential reliance on debt facilities, customer prepayments or partner-assisted financing arrangements.

Dilution is another factor to consider. The agreement provides Anthropic with a 10-year warrant package covering up to 50.8 million shares at an exercise price of 1 cent per share. The warrants vest in two equal tranches: The first 25.4 million shares align with server installations at the Maysville site, while the remaining 25.4 million shares unlock only if Anthropic contracts an additional 400 MW to 500 MW across a second location. This framework ties equity dilution directly to operational expansion, although it implies an eventual share count increase of approximately 10.3%.

Site construction schedules represent another key variable. The Maysville location remains under development and has not yet energized commercial hardware. Securing power hookups, transformer deliveries and cooling hardware on schedule will be necessary to avoid operational bottlenecks.

Investors watching Rumble Inc. may find it helpful to evaluate the business through the lens of an emerging utility supplier rather than an ad-dependent media network. Tracking upcoming quarterly earnings releases for updates on site construction progress, capital expenditure funding terms and institutional accumulation can help investors gauge how effectively management converts this $13.7 billion agreement into recurring operating cash flow.
