Anthropic is heading toward Wall Street with a hefty price tag and an even bigger question: how much appetite does the market still have for AI? The Anthropic IPO roadshow has officially begun, with shares expected to price between $70 and $78.
Anthropic IPO Puts AI Investor Appetite To Test
The proposed offering covers 825 million Class A shares. Anthropic is selling 801,351,354 shares, while existing stockholders are offering another 23,648,646. The company also expects to give underwriters a 30-day option for up to 123.75 million additional shares.
At the top of the proposed range, Anthropic’s fully diluted valuation would reach approximately $1.4 trillion. Strip out options and restricted stock, however, and its market value comes in around $1 trillion. That’s quite a difference, depending on which number investors choose to focus on.
A $26 Billion Private Deal Adds More Firepower
The IPO isn’t the only capital event on the table. Anthropic is also set to raise $26 billion through a separate private placement involving cornerstone investors, including Google, Nvidia and even AMD among the list.
The listing arrives as higher borrowing costs, geopolitical turmoil and elevated bond yields weigh on the IPO market. That makes this offering a significant test of investor confidence in the AI boom.
Nasdaq Listing Still Faces Regulatory Hurdles
Anthropic has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. But the registration statement filed with the SEC has not yet become effective, meaning shares cannot legally be sold before that happens.
With SpaceX having raised $75 billion at a nearly $1.75 trillion valuation, comparisons are inevitable. The Anthropic IPO now has to prove that public-market investors are still willing to pay a premium for AI growth.
