The Strategy Behind Anthropic’s US$1.4tn Valuation in IPO

Anthropic aims for a US$1.4tn valuation in its IPO, offering 825 million shares at US$70–78 each, raising up to US$64.4bn. This is below investor expectations of US$2tn. The company's valuation rose from US$965bn in its last private financing. The lower range may attract more buyers and reduce debut risks amid market uncertainties. Anthropic plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.
