Anthropic Seeks to Raise Up to $90.4 Billion Through IPO and Private Placements, Could Surpass SpaceX Record
November 10 | Anthropic PBC is seeking a fully diluted valuation of about $1.4 trillion in its initial public offering (IPO), aiming to become the first publicly listed frontier AI lab. The developer of the Claude chatbot and some of its shareholders are seeking to raise up to $90.4 billion through the IPO and private placements.
According to a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, the base offering is expected to raise up to $64.4 billion, with an indicative price range of $70 to $78 per share.
Anthropic will issue 801.4 million shares, while its investors will sell 23.6 million shares. The filing shows that the offering also includes private placements totaling $26 billion, with AMD, Broadcom, Google parent Alphabet, Micron Technology, Microsoft, Nvidia, and TSMC among the recipients.
Anthropic's ambitious fundraising target, including the private placements, would reach about $100 billion if the so-called overallotment option is also exercised. That would exceed SpaceX's $75 billion base offering and the $86.2 billion it raised after exercising its overallotment option.
