Anthropic Sets IPO Price Range of $70-$78, Eyes Nov. 19 Trading
Anthropic, the AI company behind the chatbot Claude, has set its IPO price range at $70-$78 per share for 825 million Class A shares (801.4 million from Anthropic and 23.6 million from existing shareholders), targeting up to $64.4 billion in gross proceeds. This is slightly less than SpaceX's record IPO in June. Combined with a $26 billion private placement from AMD, Broadcom, Google, Micron, Microsoft, Nvidia, and TSMC, the total potential raise reaches $90.4 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of up to $1.405 trillion (a 46% increase over its last private valuation). The IPO, the largest of the year, begins trading on Nasdaq under 'ANT' on November 19. As of October, Anthropic reports run-rate revenue of $81 billion, Q3 revenue of $16.96 billion (up 47% QoQ), and a nine-month net loss of $104 billion. Proceeds will cover compute commitments (Amazon and Google provide nearly $900 billion in capacity); however, protestors warn of risks if the AI bubble bursts. Additionally, Anthropic launched faster and cheaper models, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2.
Anthropic is a leading AI company whose IPO sets a benchmark for the AI industry, with a potential valuation of $1.4 trillion, signaling strong investor demand for AI technologies and impacting the broader tech and advertising ecosystems that rely on AI.

Anthropic IPO: 10 Stocks to Buy Before Listing
Anthropic has selected Nasdaq for an IPO that could value it at $2 trillion or more, potentially making it the largest IPO in history with a raise of up to $100 billion. The company reported Q2 revenue of $11.5 billion, a 14-fold increase year-over-year, with annualized revenue reaching $65 billion by end of July. Gross margins exceed 80% before revenue sharing and training costs. Bankers have discussed a raise of up to $100 billion, and the company has shared its prospectus with a select group of investors before making it public. The article lists ten stocks to buy before the listing, focusing on companies with existing equity stakes or compute contracts with Anthropic. It also notes a call from Dario Amodei to slow AI model capability improvements, which could affect training compute demand.
Investors Eye $2 Trillion IPO Valuation for Anthropic
Anthropic is reportedly preparing an autumn IPO after filing a confidential SEC application in early June and entering a quiet period, with investors and banks modeling valuations as high as $2 trillion. Reuters and other outlets say those valuations lean on aggressive multi-year revenue forecasts: the company reported a revenue run-rate of roughly $47 billion in May 2026 (up from about $9 billion at end-2025) and projects roughly $190–200 billion for 2028; Q2 2026 guidance included at least $10.9 billion in revenue and $559 million operating profit. Banks are using comparables such as Palantir, Cloudflare and SpaceX and high revenue multiples to price the deal. Anthropic faces regulatory and operational risks—U.S. export controls briefly halted distribution of Fable 5 and Mythos 5—and other challenges including a Pentagon legal dispute, competition from lower-cost Chinese models, infrastructure costs, and reported talks to acquire Decart for about $6 billion.
Anthropic IPO Valuation Reaches $2 Trillion on Pre-IPO Markets
AI developer Anthropic is reportedly preparing for a massive IPO, with investment bankers projecting a valuation of up to $2 trillion. Although Anthropic’s official Series H funding round valued the company at $965 billion, speculative activity on pre-IPO derivative markets—such as Binance, Hyperliquid, and PreStocks—implies valuations between $1.41 trillion and $1.93 trillion. This speculative trading places Anthropic's implied value ahead of industry giants like SpaceX and OpenAI. However, Anthropic has clarified that these third-party tokenized instruments are unauthorized and carry no actual equity or voting rights. On regulated secondary markets, actual employee shares imply a more modest valuation between $830 billion and $1.2 trillion. In broader financial developments, Bitcoin fell below the $78,000 threshold following a speech by US Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh hinting at future interest rate hikes.
