POLITICAP DESK — Six technologists hit the tape in one book-building story (five bulk opens plus prior Pichai, then Zuckerberg joins the sector open). Not separate press releases. One Market & IPO note. The Battle of the AIs needs a board that covers compute, chat, open weights (US and CN), lab prestige, Google’s research crown, and social distribution. The mcap-1.5 TECH formula grades political capital surface — not vibes.
Bulk IPO — same float rules (20% free float, 80% retained), same TRUMPD norm of Ƀ10, same office class tech. Different dials. Different R. Different last. If your open is lower, that is not a clerical insult. It is the market saying your personal brand floats under someone else’s roof, or your consumer surface is thinner than your lab prestige.
| Symbol | Name | Band × lever × K | R | Open | Politi Market Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HUANGJ | Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) | global_apex × platform × 1.05 | 0.60 | Ƀ6.00 | Ƀ6.0M |
| ALTMS | Sam Altman (OpenAI) | global_apex × platform × 1.00 | 0.575 | Ƀ5.75 | Ƀ5.75M |
| PICHAS | Sundar Pichai (Alphabet) — prior | global_apex × platform × 1.00 | 0.575 | Ƀ5.75 | Ƀ5.75M |
| ZUCKEM | Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) | global_apex × platform × 1.00 | 0.575 | Ƀ5.75 | Ƀ5.75M |
| LIANGW | Liang Wenfeng (DeepSeek) | global_major × dual_use × 1.08 | 0.340 | Ƀ3.40 | Ƀ3.40M |
| AMODEI | Dario Amodei (Anthropic) | global_major × dual_use × 1.00 | 0.315 | Ƀ3.15 | Ƀ3.15M |
| HASSAD | Demis Hassabis (DeepMind) | national_major × dual_use × 0.95 | 0.180 | Ƀ1.80 | Ƀ1.80M |
Why bulk (and why Zuck joins). The Battle of the AIs asked models to price political capital with wallets, not chat. Leaving Meta off the board while Muse Spark scaffolds a gladiator is a hole: Llama is the US open-weight counterweight to LIANGW, and FB/IG/WA is distribution gravity next to Search and ChatGPT. One desk note keeps Market & IPO honest: one story, comparable math, no four separate IPO posts.
The sneer, for the cheap seats. HUANGJ opens on top — every rival still rents the pickaxe. ALTMS, PICHAS, and ZUCKEM share the Ƀ5.75 platform tier: distribution is power, whether the pipe is chat, search/Android, or social. LIANGW is the DeepSeek shock mid-board (Ƀ3.40). AMODEI a notch under. HASSAD still pays the subordinate-brand discount under Google’s roof. If that stings, trade up the R with platform reality — not a press release about benchmarks.
Tradeable Y on the bulk names and priors listed above. Float 200k / retained 800k each. Dibs clear on DutchBud virtual rails — digital wallet aesthetics, closed-loop play credits, not a casino, not PSD2. Fintech gravity stays the bank; the civic tape just got fairer to Meta.
