Abstract

过去一周，美股AI板块遭遇剧烈震荡，多家科技巨头在交出创纪录财报后股价反而大跌。市场关注的焦点已从营收增长转向为支撑增长所需的巨额资本开支和融资压力。博通与甲骨文财报显示其AI相关收入均大幅增长，在手订单创新高，但均因未来资本开支指引或盈利前景未达预期而遭抛售。6月5日，纳指单日重挫4%，半导体板块市值大幅蒸发。这背后是宏观利率预期变化与对AI烧钱模式的担忧共同作用。分析指出，市场定价逻辑正从损益表转向现金流和资产负债表。甲骨文自由现金流为负，并计划继续大规模融资；博通则面临利润率压力。即便现金充裕的Alphabet也进行了巨额股权融资，凸显AI基建投入的烈度。整个AI产业链的融资链条紧绷：从云厂商、芯片公司到前沿AI实验室，都在通过债务、股权等方式为天量资本开支筹资。然而，链条的最终买单方高度集中于OpenAI、Anthropic等少数尚未盈利的实验室，其自身也依赖持续融资，这放大了市场的疑虑。市场开始重新评估AI增长背后的真实成本和债务风险。

过去这一周,美股 AI 板块上演了一组奇怪的画面,记录一个接一个被刷新,股票一个接一个被卖出。

6 月 1 日,账上躺着千亿现金的 Alphabet 宣布史上规模最大的股权融资之一;6 月 3 日盘后,博通交出史上最佳季报,次日股价崩跌;6 月 5 日,纳指单日重挫 4%,半导体板块一天蒸发约万亿美元市值;6 月 10 日盘后,甲骨文营收与在手订单双双创纪录,股价照跌不误;6 月 11 日,史上最大的 SpaceX IPO 进入定价时刻。财报数字本身没有问题,有问题的是这些数字得以成立的方式:越来越多的钱,正以越来越复杂的方式被借进这场 AI 基建竞赛。当市场开始数这笔账,创纪录也救不了股价。

同一个剧本:先创纪录,再被砸

博通的剧本在前。据公司财报及多家媒体报道,截至 5 月 3 日的第二财季,博通营收 222.19 亿美元、同比增长 48%,AI 芯片收入 108 亿美元、同比增长 143%,每股收益超出华尔街预期。但市场只盯住一个缺口,即公司对下季度 AI 芯片收入的指引为 160 亿美元,低于分析师预期,CEO Hock Tan 也未上调全年 AI 收入目标,并提到 Google 可能分散其芯片供应链。但是,次日博通股价一度下跌约 15%,单日蒸发近 2800 亿美元市值,为华尔街史上最大单日市值蒸发之一。

一周后轮到甲骨文。据公司财报及 CNBC 报道,截至 5 月 31 日的第四财季,甲骨文营收 192 亿美元,同比增长 21%,云基础设施收入 58 亿美元,同比增长 93%,调整后每股收益 2.11 美元,高于分析师预期的 1.95 美元。在手订单更是惊人,剩余履约义务(RPO)达 6380 亿美元,同比暴增 363%,远超分析师预期的 5957 亿美元。但股价同样不买账,盘后一度跌约 9%。

夹在两份财报之间的,是 6 月 5 日的整体性抛售。据 TheStreet 与 CNBC,纳斯达克综合指数当日下跌 4%,为 2025 年 4 月关税动荡以来最差单日,由博通谨慎的 AI 芯片前景引爆,AMD、英特尔领跌整个半导体板块。

值得注意的是,6 月 5 日的暴跌并不全是「AI 怀疑」。当日美国非农新增 17.2 万人,远超预期,推高了利率预期,引发资金从高估值成长股向医疗、必需消费等防御板块,而 AI 股因估值最高,跌得最狠。换言之,宏观利率与板块轮动是一重驱动,对 AI 资本开支的疑虑是另一重,两者叠加,而非单一归因。

被砸的不是损益表,是现金流表

把三段行情拼在一起会发现一个共同点,损益表还在记「创纪录」,市场已经改读现金流表和资产负债表。定价的重心,从「赚了多少」转向了「为了赚这些,还要烧掉多少、再借多少」。

甲骨文是最直白的样本。据公司财报,FY2026 全年经营性现金流创纪录达 320 亿美元、同比增长 54%,但自由现金流为负 237 亿美元,全年已融资 430 亿美元债务与 50 亿美元股权。而真正击穿情绪的,是它对未来的口径。据 CNBC,甲骨文计划在 2027 财年再融资约 400 亿美元,方式为债务与股权组合。一家刚融完近 500 亿,自由现金流为负的公司,又预告了下一轮 400 亿融资,这与「创纪录」并列出现时,市场选择给后者定价。

博通的逻辑相似,只是表现在别处。据 Barron's ,博通将第三财季毛利率指引从 77% 下调至 74%,原因是毛利率较低的 AI 芯片在收入中占比上升。再加上从「卖整机系统」退守「只卖芯片」,以及客户要求租赁芯片、转嫁融资压力,市场看到的是一门增长很猛,但利润率与资本占用都在恶化的生意。

高盛为这种转向提供了框架。据其研报,投资者对资本开支增长的容忍度,取决于盈利强度与 AI 变现的可见度;同一份报告指出,Alphabet 因上调利润指引而股价上涨,Meta 则因指引持平而下跌。市场不再一视同仁地奖励「增长」,而是按「能不能变现」来区分赢家与输家。

融资链条成了主角:连现金最多的玩家也在借钱

如果说损益表是表象,融资链条才是这一周真正的主角。从最上游到最末端,几乎每一个环节都在以加杠杆或稀释股权的方式,为同一场 AI 基建买单。

最具说服力的样本是 Alphabet。据其向 SEC 提交的文件,6 月 1 日宣布 800 亿美元股权融资,6 月 2 日上调并定价至 847.5 亿美元,其中包含伯克希尔哈撒韦 100 亿美元的私募投资。反常之处在于,这家公司根本不缺钱。据多家媒体报道,Alphabet 截至 2026 年 3 月账上有 1268 亿美元现金、年经营性现金流 1740 亿美元,且自 11 月以来已新发逾 550 亿美元债务。即便如此,Melius Research 估计 Google 的自由现金流未来几年将转为负值。投资人 Dan Niles 对此的评论是,资本并非无限,而 Google 坐拥「全 AI 最强的技术栈」却仍要大举融资,恰恰说明了这轮投入的烈度。

往下游看,链条上的每一环都在做同样的事。新云厂商甲骨文自由现金流为负,靠债股双线融资,并让客户预付 GPU 货款或自带 GPU 以压低自身的建设垫资;芯片卖铲人博通则在 6 月 9 日联合阿波罗(Apollo)与黑石成立 AI XPV Platform,首期 350 亿美元,目标在 2028 年前支撑逾 20 吉瓦算力,服务包括 Anthropic 与 OpenAI 在内的前沿实验室。而链条最末端的实验室,则同时在动用更激进的工具:此前已有报道指软银以 OpenAI 股权为抵押安排保证金贷款,如今 SpaceX 正冲刺目标 750 亿美元的纳斯达克 IPO,Anthropic 已秘密递交上市申请,OpenAI 预计紧随其后。

这场投入的总量同样在快速膨胀。据 CreditSights,超大厂 2026 年合计资本开支估计约 7500 亿美元,较 2025 年增长约 67%;高盛的另一口径则为,超大厂 2026 年资本开支预测已从年初的 3140 亿美元上修至 5180 亿美元。无论采用哪个口径,方向都是一致的,开支在加速,而能用经营现金流覆盖的部分在缩小,缺口要靠资本市场来填。

链条的承重点,压在几家还没盈利的实验室身上

杠杆本身不可怕,可怕的是杠杆最终系于谁。把这条融资链拉到尽头会发现,它的承重点高度集中。

甲骨文 6380 亿美元在手订单看似坚不可摧,但据美国银行(Bank of America),其中逾 50% 来自 OpenAI 一家;同时甲骨文也披露,近两个季度 RPO 的增量大多来自大型 AI 合同,客户要么预付 GPU 货款,要么自行采购 GPU 再交给甲骨文。博通的六大定制芯片客户,同样集中于 Google、Meta、Anthropic、OpenAI 等少数几家。也就是说,从超大厂的融资,到卖铲人的订单,再到私人信贷与保险资金的注入,整条链条的最终买单方,收敛到了 OpenAI、Anthropic 这样一小撮尚未盈利,且自己也在排队融资的前沿实验室身上。

创纪录的收入是真的,6380 亿美元的在手订单也是真的;但这些订单的买单方高度集中,自身也在靠融资续命,整条链的杠杆正在被市场重新审视。这一周,市场没有否认 AI 的增长,它只是开始要求看清这笔增长的账单由谁,用什么方式来付。SpaceX 将于 6 月 11 日盘后定价,6 月 12 日以每股 135 美元、约 1.77 万亿美元估值挂牌纳斯达克,这场史上最大的 IPO 能否顺利消化,会是这条融资链的下一个压力测试。

Warsh's Debut: Will the FED Chair Who Knows Crypto Best Bring Surprises or Shocks to the Market?

Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, prepares for his inaugural press conference amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape: resurgent inflation, a bond market sell-off, and political pressure from President Trump for rate cuts. Uniquely, Warsh holds indirect investments in over 20 crypto and Web3 entities (e.g., Solana, dYdX), making him the first Fed Chair with disclosed crypto exposure. His stance may combine a hawkish, inflation-focused monetary policy with a crypto-friendly regulatory philosophy that shifts from Powell’s “same risk, same rule” approach toward a framework acknowledging blockchain’s productivity value. Warsh’s leadership could impact crypto markets across three dimensions: a paradigm shift in regulation (potentially accelerating pro-innovation legislation and stable币 rules), a re-pricing of risk premiums based on clearer communication and his view of AI as a structural disinflationary force, and a long-term reallocation of global institutional capital driven by increased legitimacy. Two potential scenarios for the press conference are outlined. A “positive surprise” would involve a dovish-leaning tone on rates coupled with signals of regulatory openness, potentially boosting crypto asset valuations. Conversely, a “negative shock” would see a more hawkish-than-expected stance on inflation and rates, triggering a broad risk-asset selloff that crypto markets would not escape. While ethics rules required Warsh to divest his crypto holdings upon confirmation, his deep understanding of the technology may fundamentally lower policy uncertainty and build a more receptive long-term foundation for digital assets’ integration into the mainstream financial system.

AGI is Not the End, DeepMind's New Paper: Moving Towards ASI, the Real AI Progress Has Just Begun

In a new report, Google DeepMind researchers argue that achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not the end goal, but rather a step toward Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). They outline four potential pathways for this transition: 1) continued scaling of compute, models, and data; 2) algorithmic evolution and potential paradigm shifts; 3) recursive self-improvement; and 4) multi-agent coordination and collective intelligence. The report also identifies six key bottlenecks that could hinder progress: data limitations (the "data wall"), economic and resource pressures, limitations of current neural network paradigms, increasing research difficulty, "abstraction barriers" in forming new concepts, and regulatory and societal pushback. Looking ahead, the authors emphasize the need for new evaluation methods once AI surpasses human benchmarks. They call for a large-scale, interdisciplinary effort to prepare for a future where AI-driven advancements could trigger transformative changes across multiple fields. The path and speed of progress remain uncertain, constrained by physical laws, computational complexity, and real-world feedback loops.

Kraken Launches Pre-IPO Perps For OpenAI And Anthropic With Up To 5x Leverage

Kraken has launched pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts for private AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic, offering eligible traders up to 5x leverage. These derivatives provide synthetic exposure to the companies' valuations ahead of any public listing, tapping into high investor demand for AI themes. However, the product carries unique risks compared to standard crypto perpetuals, as private company valuations lack transparent, continuous pricing and depend on funding rounds, secondary transactions, and IPO timelines. This move signals crypto exchanges' expansion into alternative speculative markets beyond digital assets, though it raises questions about risk management, liquidity, and investor understanding, especially when using leverage.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity.
