They are not raising $100B, they are raising money at a valuation of $100B.
what is the investor thesis for coming in with such a multiple? You know they will have to find a a greater fool, possibly the public to buy at an even higher ratio to break any profit on that....
This isn't really venture investing at this point. The valuation risk calculation is very different for preferred shares than common stock, and with a healthy ARR they have very little risk (maybe not much profit, but it's not that different than a bond on some level...).
