Anthropic to finance over $100 billion, or $2 trillion, through IPO

On 23 August, according to The New York Times, AI Company Anthropic is proposing to potential investors that it plan to finance more than $100 billion in the upcoming first public equity (IPO) with a target value of approximately $2 trillion. If we move forward with this program, Anthropic will break the US$ 85.7 billion in financing and the US$ 1.77 trillion market value record that came out of SpaceX in June this year, making it the largest IPO in history. According to the report, Anthropic had previously valued about $90 billion in the latest round of private fundraising and had submitted a listing application in June, which focused on demonstrating to investors their business health and growth expectations, as well as testing market demand for AI-type units。
