Paid by the Token, Priced by the ModelNarrow moat

Anthropic (ANT) — moat facet

Four-fifths of Anthropic revenue is metered in tokens, so the bill rises with usage rather than at a renewal, and the customer picks the rate.

Anthropic calls its revenue model "pay-for-intelligence": customers pay for usage, "which is metered in tokens and priced according to the model selected"1. It is the opposite of a seat licence. A customer who uses Claude more pays more within the month, with no renegotiation and no renewal date.

Both lines grew; the metered one stayed four-fifths of the total.

The split is disclosed. Consumption-based revenue went from $288 million, or 75% of total revenue, in 2024 to $3.8 billion, or 83%, in 2025, to $13.1 billion, or 80%, in the six months to 30 June 20262. Subscription revenue went from $98 million to $789 million to $3.2 billion over the same periods, from 25% of revenue to 17% to 20%3.

The two are designed to feed each other. When subscribers "approach or exhaust the usage capacity included in their tier, they may utilize a higher subscription tier or purchase more intelligence directly, creating a seamless bridge from subscription to incremental pay-for-intelligence revenue"4. A customer who outgrows the plan does not leave; the bill simply changes shape.

What makes the meter unusual is that the customer chooses the rate. The model classes are Mythos including Fable, Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, "each optimized for a different point on the capability-cost-speed curve"5, and customers route individual tasks between them6.

The platform gives customers levers to cut the bill as well, which is unusual in a metered business. Developers can use Extended Thinking, let Adaptive Thinking decide how much reasoning a request needs, or set Effort Controls on each request "allowing them to balance response quality against cost"7, and prompt caching cuts cost by up to about 97% and latency by up to about 60%8. Anthropic hands the customer the dial.

There is a second cut of revenue in the filing, and it is the one that describes the business model rather than the map. Consumption revenue was $288M in 2024, $3.8 billion in 2025 and $13.1 billion in the first half of 2026 — 75%, 83% and 80% of the total — against subscription revenue of $98M, $789M and $3.2 billion9. Four dollars in five arrive as metered tokens, and that ratio has been stable for two years.

So growth here needs rising volume, not a renewal season. The number to follow is consumption revenue, $13.1 billion in the half: growing faster than total revenue means customers are deepening usage, and a fall in its share toward the 2024 level of 75% would mean the company is drifting back toward selling seats.

Moat trajectory: Holding steady

Consumption has held between 75% and 83% of revenue for three periods.

$13,100M, 80% of total revenue (H1 2026)

The metered core of the book; a falling share would mean growth is coming from subscriptions rather than from deeper usage.
