Bloomberg: Anthropic IPO Six-Times Oversubscribed
The AI lab is seeking up to $64.4 billion and a $1.4 trillion valuation as major investors and banks back the deal.
- Anthropic plans to price its IPO on November 18, 2026, and begin trading on November 19, 2026, selling 825 million shares between $70 and $78 each for a valuation of up to $1.4 trillion.
- Robert Netzly, CEO of faith-based investment firm Inspire Investing, conducts a "moral audit" of potential investments to align with biblically responsible standards. He told Business Insider that "Claude is not Jesus," though he noted Anthropic's safeguards on pornographic content.
- Cornerstone investors including Alphabet's Google, Nvidia, and Advanced Micro Devices are buying $26 billion of stock in a private placement alongside the public offering. Analysts expect passive demand from index-tracking funds to account for roughly $19 billion of shares offered.
- Like SpaceX, Anthropic will be added to at least six major indexes within 15 days of listing. Carsten Hesse, London-based head of index events at Berenberg, said "Anthropic is a mirror image of the SpaceX IPO."
- While Anthropic proceeds with its debut, OpenAI remains private with a $1.25 trillion valuation. Anthropic's prospectus warns of regulatory and litigation risks, cautioning that as AI models advance, the possibility of doing harm grows.
