2 prediction markets price this story:
- Palantir — the market puts it at 10%, with $9 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if any part of the U.S. federal government acquires a stake in Palantir before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly think news about private investors or foreign governments counts toward resolution.
- Above 1100 — the market puts it at 91%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Palantir Technologies Inc. reports a total customer count above 1100 in 2026. It resolves to No if that specific threshold is not met according to their official report. Readers often mistake the linked news story about land purchases for the actual metric, but only the reported customer count matters.
