Anthropic Could Land Nvidia as $10 Billion IPO Investor

Anthropic, an AI startup, aims to raise up to $100 billion in an IPO, targeting a $2 trillion valuation. Nvidia is considering a $10 billion investment as an anchor investor, according to Reuters. Anthropic's rapid revenue growth, reaching $65 billion by July 2026, drives this valuation. Neither company has confirmed the negotiations. Nvidia's involvement would signal strong support for Anthropic's IPO, set to conclude before the U.S. midterm elections.
