Bitget secures enterprise Claude access for all 2,167 employees at $200 per head
Bitget just wrote a check that most companies would still be debating in committee. The cryptocurrency exchange announced on June 10 that it purchased enterprise access to Anthropic’s Claude AI for every single one of its 2,167 employees, at a cost of $200 per person per month.
That works out to roughly $433,400 per month, or about $5.2 million annualized, all to make sure nobody at the company is stuck Googling things the old-fashioned way.
Why Bitget went all-in on Claude
CEO Gracy Chen framed the decision not as a top-down mandate but as a response to something the company was already seeing on the ground. Employees who were effectively using AI tools were demonstrably more productive, and leadership decided the gap between those who had access and those who didn’t was a problem worth solving with money.
Chen, who has led Bitget since May 2024 and oversees a platform with more than 120 million users globally, emphasized the importance of equipping every team member with advanced AI resources. The goal, in her framing, is to prevent anyone from falling behind in an environment that rewards speed.
This isn’t Bitget’s first foray into AI integration either. The exchange had previously incorporated multiple large language models, including Claude, into products like GetAgent. The enterprise-wide rollout represents a shift from selective product integration to universal workforce adoption.
The timing is also worth noting. Anthropic publicly released Claude Fable 5 on June 9, just one day before Bitget’s announcement. Whether that’s coincidence or coordinated strategy, the effect is the same: Bitget’s workforce gets access to one of the newest and most capable AI models on the market right as it launches.

Most officials view a September interest rate hike as an "insurance" measure against stubborn inflation; a minority see it as a necessary step to curb inflation. Overall, there is no indication of a desire to push for consecutive rate hikes. The "New Fed News Agency" emphasized the minutes: "Most participants believe that it may be appropriate to raise interest rates again before the end of the year." Nearly all officials believe inflation remains elevated and the labor market is close to full employment. Many noted that, despite the rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, financial conditions are still conducive to economic growth. Some officials believe that AI will boost investment and productivity, but may also contribute to inflation. The minutes revealed that the U.S.-Japan joint intervention in July to support the yen was a U.S. Treasury action, with no Federal Reserve funds used.

100 Million Barrels Shrinkage? Reports Say EU Believes Oil Reserve Release Plan Mainly Fulfills Previous Commitments, Not New Quotas
Last Friday, G7 member countries agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel reserves. The IEA had announced a plan to release 400 million barrels in March, and as of last Friday, about 75 million barrels had yet to be released. Most EU member states believe that this action is simply fulfilling previous commitments rather than adding new releases. Regarding the earlier-than-scheduled release of diesel stocks emphasized in last week's G7 agreement, EU member states consider it feasible, but on a limited scale.
