Nvidia in talks to invest in Anthropic’s mega IPO: sources

The AI startup is seeking to raise as much as US$100 billion that could value it at around US$2 trillion

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup, is in preliminary discussions with Nvidia to serve as an anchor investor in what could be the largest initial public offering in history, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The AI startup is seeking to raise up to US$100 billion, potentially valuing it at around US$2 trillion.

Nvidia is reportedly considering investing up to US$10 billion in the IPO. The plans are still under discussion and could undergo changes, the sources cautioned, citing confidentiality. An anchor investor typically commits to buy a set portion of an IPO before it is widely marketed, providing early confidence in the shares. Nvidia's potential involvement could boost investor confidence in the listing and strengthen ties between the chipmaker and Anthropic, a major customer.
