3 Ways to Invest in Anthropic Pre-IPO

Three methods exist for investors to gain exposure to Anthropic before its planned IPO. While Anthropic could reach a $2 trillion valuation like SpaceX, direct investment is not necessary. Investors have two creative options before the IPO.

First, some major tech companies like Alphabet, Amazon, and Salesforce have invested heavily in Anthropic, influencing their earnings. However, this strategy offers limited exposure and is not equivalent to owning shares directly. Many brokerage accounts now allow pre-IPO purchases just before an IPO date. Investors must have a regular brokerage account and meet minimum balance or purchase requirements. Overbooked pre-IPO offerings may result in failed orders.

Second, investors can follow the money Anthropic is investing. With over $100 billion in Amazon Web Services and aggressive AI chip purchases, Anthropic's revenue growth will likely funnel capital into AI infrastructure. A 20-year lease for a massive data center site with TeraWulf illustrates this trend. Companies benefiting from Anthropic's growth include hyperscalers, AI labs, and start-ups with growing AI needs.

Finally, consider the long-term potential of Alphabet, Amazon, and Salesforce stocks, as they may gain from Anthropic's growth. While not on the latest 10 best stocks list, these companies have shown strong growth in the past. For example, investing $1,000 in Alphabet in 2005 would have yielded $1,341,724.
