AI giant Anthropic announces plans to list on US stock market

Anthropic filed confidential paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch an initial public offering this year. The company, behind the chatbot Claude, has not set the number of shares or the offering price. Its valuation from private investors exceeds $965 billion. The move follows SpaceX's public listing announcement, raising questions about investor appetite for AI firms. Anthropic, founded five years ago, will allow shareholders to trade shares on US stock markets despite no finalized pricing or share count.
