Anthropic Unveils Terms for $61.05 Billion IPO

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup behind the Claude platform, has officially launched terms for its massive $61.05 billion initial public offering. Trading under the proposed ticker ANT, the company is offering 825 million shares—consisting of 801.35 million primary shares and 23.65 million from selling shareholders—at an estimated price range of $70.00 to $78.00 per share. At the $74.00 mid-point, Anthropic’s valuation would reach an impressive $968.44 billion, positioning the company just shy of the coveted $1 trillion market capitalization threshold.

In a strong show of industry backing, a coalition of seven major technology giants—including Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, Micron Technology, and TSMC Partners—has committed to purchasing $26 billion of Anthropic’s Class N common stock via a simultaneous private placement priced at the IPO rate. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are serving as the lead book-runners for the landmark offering, supported by a broad syndicate of major financial institutions.
