Anthropic Watch posted an update
Investment firm XN intends to be a “large participant” in buying Anthropic shares during the AI company’s anticipated public listing, Hedgeweek reports, citing a letter to investors seen by the Financial Times.
Why it mattersXN first invested in Anthropic in 2025 and has taken part in three funding rounds. Hedgeweek says the firm’s holding was valued at about $5.3 billion at Anthropic’s May fundraising, which valued the Claude developer at $965 billion. An IPO is not confirmed. Hedgeweek says Anthropic had reportedly been targeting a valuation above $1.5 trillion, but the recent AI stock sell-off could complicate those ambitions. A large investor signalling interest is a useful measure of appetite, not a listing announcement.
Discuss: Would a major investor’s willingness to buy into a possible Anthropic listing make you more confident in the company, or would you wait for confirmed IPO terms?
