SaaStr breaks down Zoom at ~$5B ARR: the written-off "COVID one-hit-wonder" is modestly re-accelerating with real AI monetization, and its $51M Zoom Ventures stake in Anthropic is now ~$1.27B per a regulatory filing, the majority of its strategic-investment line. The uncomfortable read: a mature incumbent's early model-lab equity dwarfs the AI upside of its own operating business. Distribution plus a paid AI tier still turned AI into revenue, but the equity stake is the real story.
