Rumors have circulated for months regarding Anthropic's potential IPO valuation, with some speculating a staggering $2 trillion. However, recent analyses suggest a more modest range of $1 trillion to $1.4 trillion. Anthropic's updated SEC filing revealed on Tuesday that the AI company plans to offer 825 million shares of Class A common stock, priced at an estimated $70 to $78 per share.
The company is selling 801 million shares, while its selling stockholders offer another 23.6 million shares. Additionally, Anthropic is providing Class N common stock through a private placement to various tech giants, including Google, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron Technology, Microsoft, and TSMC Partners. Google and Nvidia will purchase 135,135,135 shares each, totaling approximately $10 million.
The private placement is expected to be worth around $26 billion, with the IPO potentially raising up to $64.35 billion in total. While the exact IPO date remains uncertain, it is anticipated to occur in mid-November, with the company applying for listing on Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT". Despite recent growth slowing down, Anthropic's IPO remains a significant event, potentially ranking among the largest ever, although it falls short of SpaceX's record-breaking $1.77 trillion listing.
