And if you are referring to a STAR, the "bottom altitude" is the lowest published altitude on the STAR, which you should know.
Yeah...I meant STAR.

The ANC STAR in question does not have a bottom altitude, because it is an "at or above" altitude, so, technically, you could maintain your cruise altitude all the way to the end of the STAR, and you would have complied with the "Descend Via" instruction, which is why it is technically invalid.
