Anthropic Targets Up to $69.3B Raise in Blockbuster IPO
Summary
Anthropic is aiming to raise as much as $69.3 billion in its IPO, per a filing seen by Reuters, a size that would rank among the largest listings on record. The figure puts a concrete number on a deal that until now was framed only by valuation chatter — investors had pushed for pricing around a $1 trillion-plus valuation, and the company was last reported targeting $1.25 trillion to $1.75 trillion with an $80 billion raise. This follows the public IPO filing on October 31 that disclosed June-quarter revenue, and the November 9 report that Anthropic is pressing ahead with investor meetings this week despite the AI selloff. The raise size is the number that matters: it sets the dilution and float that will determine how the stock trades after the Nasdaq debut, which was targeted for about mid-November and before Thanksgiving.
