Anthropic's IPO Could Come Within Weeks. Amazon Already Owns a Piece of It.

Key PointsAmazon's balance sheet carried its Anthropic holdings at around $239 billion on Sept. 30, almost four times the amount at the end of 2025.

Anthropic, the AI lab responsible for Claude models, has applied to list its stock on the Nasdaq under the symbol ANT. While an amended filing on Nov. 2 did not provide a price range, IFR reported last month that the company plans to begin its investor roadshow on Nov. 9 and price the deal the following week.

Amazon has invested $18 billion into Anthropic since 2023. According to Motley Fool, this stake consists of $8 billion in convertible notes that can become approximately 1.84 billion shares, as well as preferred stock. This includes a $5 billion investment in Anthropic's Series G round during the second quarter of 2026, along with $5 billion spent on the Series H round. Amazon also agreed to make up to $20 billion more available as it delivers computing capacity.

Nasdaq Markets reports that Amazon’s balance sheet carried its Anthropic holdings at approximately $239 billion on Sept. 30, which is nearly four times the amount recorded at the end of 2025.
