Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic’s planned IPO has drawn orders for multiple times the shares available, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the offering. That points to strong reported demand, though it does not tell us the final price or how many orders will become allocations.
Why it mattersThe report also says Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei and JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon are due to appear in a livestream on Friday. The listing now has both a crowded order book and a high-profile stage, which should make the next terms worth watching closely.
Discuss: If demand is already several times the shares on offer, should Anthropic prioritise a higher price or a broader spread of investors?

Anthropic Watch Update What changedAnthropic is preparing to seek as much as $90.4 billion through its IPO and a concurrent private placement, according to the filings cited by Bloomberg. The combined offerings would surpass SpaceX’s planned IPO in size, Yahoo Finance UK reports.
Bloomberg’s reported target is a fully diluted valuation of about $1.4 trillion. The offering details remain subject to change, and the reported early demand does not establish the eventual price or how many orders will become allocations.
The filing account also says Anthropic plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the offering and 20 other banks participating. Does the reported scale make this a useful test of investor appetite for AI companies, or is the proposed size itself the bigger story?
