Anthropic expects to match or top SpaceX’s record IPO size

Anthropic anticipates that its upcoming initial public offering will match or surpass SpaceX's record-setting IPO, according to sources familiar with the situation. This development underscores the intense investor appetite for opportunities in the artificial intelligence sector. The company, which developed the Claude AI model, is currently evaluating its financial figures as it prepares to file a public filing for its anticipated mega-IPO within the coming weeks.

During recent investor presentations led by Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao, discussions surrounding valuation were avoided, sources revealed. Notably, SpaceX's initial public offering generated a staggering $75 billion, marking it as the largest first-time share sale in history, according to Bloomberg's data. This figure subsequently rose to $86.2 billion, incorporating the overallotment option, which is typically activated if the stock price increases during the first day of trading.
