To buy this Bay Area home, you’ll need Anthropic equity

# A Bay Area Home Seller Is Betting Big on an AI Company's Future A homeowner in Mill Valley is offering an unconventional deal: they'll sell their 13-acre property in exchange for stock in Anthropic, an AI startup, rather than traditional cash or a mortgage. This bet reflects how valuable some people believe Anthropic—a company working on AI safety—could become if it continues to grow. The unusual offer shows how frothy the Bay Area real estate market is, where sellers are willing to take chances on emerging tech companies instead of sticking with guaranteed money.
