Top comment on the HN post:
A lot of people seem confused about this acquisition because they think of Bun as a node.js compatible bundler / runtime and just compare it to Deno / npm. But I think its a really smart move if you think of where Bun has been pushing into lately which is a kind of cloud-native self contained runtime (S3 API, SQL, streaming, etc). For an agent like Claude Code this trajectory is really interesting as you are creating a runtime where your agent can work inside of cloud services as fluently as it currently does with a local filesystem. Claude will be able to leverage these capabilities to extend its reach across the cloud and add more value in enterprise use cases
Does that help any?
I’ve never used Bun either

My immediate thought was that it was a security move, owning the supply chain, etc., given the recent string of npm backdoor attacks.
But this cloud hosting angle makes the most sense. I didn't know about Bun's cloud runtime offerings. It will allow Claude to publish its Artifacts without the need for third party hosting.

I've been reading slop and news about slop daily for over a year, and only now I noticed the similarity between "Claude" and "Cloud".
I guess it shows I've not been reading Reddit much, I recall that sort of pun being all over the place in the comments there.

It doesn't fully connect the dots but it adds more dots which is helpful
