Looking for a "Anthropic proxy"?

It seems that SK Telecom ($SKM) offers stronger exposure to Anthropic than Zoom ($ZM) due to a larger and more valuable stake. SKM owns ~1.07% versus ZM’s ~0.6%, making its holding worth about $8.6B vs. $4.8B at an $800B valuation. As a result, Anthropic represents a much bigger portion of SKM’s valuation. Investors effectively get more Anthropic exposure per share with SKM, while its core business appears undervalued. Despite recent gains, SKM is still seen as a better proxy for Anthropic ahead of a potential IPO. Source: Negligible Capital
