From the article,

> The tech and cloud giant said Wednesday it would spend another $2.75 billion backing Anthropic, adding to its initial $1.25 billion check.

That doesn't explain anything though.

It does give it the round number that OP was asking about.

Right, but still doesn't explain why 4 billions instead of 1 or 10.

I think the OP was expecting something like "we value the company at 8 billions because reasons, so we want to fund for half of it" or something like that.
