How much Anthropic stock does SK Telecom own?
As of June 30, 2026, SK Telecom held 3,860,330 shares of Anthropic, per its filing with South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service. The stake carried a book value of KRW 3.505 trillion (about ₩3.5tn), and SKT added 157,189 shares in the first half of 2026. Because Anthropic is a private company, the KRW 3.505 trillion figure is a carrying value in SKT’s books, not a liquid public-market valuation. Five independently published reports agree on the share count, the added shares and the book value.

Why the percentage varies. Bloter, citing the regulatory disclosure, puts the stake at 0.2% at June 30, 2026 — down from 0.3% at year-end 2025 because Anthropic issued more shares, even as SKT bought more. Another source still describes it as about 0.3%. The exact figure is the disclosed share count; the ownership percentage is best stated as approximately 0.2%–0.3%. One Korean report prints “33” in a headline figure context, referring to the ₩3.5tn (3조5000억) value, not a percentage.
Method: 5 independently published news rows citing SK Telecom’s Financial Supervisory Service disclosure for H1 2026 (reporting date June 30, 2026; articles dated Aug 2026). Shares are counts of Anthropic shares held; book value is the carrying value in KRW on SKT’s balance sheet, not a market price. All five rows shown; nothing cut.
