Anthropic Targets $1.4 Trillion Valuation in Massive IPO

Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering with a target valuation of approximately $1.4 trillion. The AI firm and its co-founders intend to raise $64.4 billion through the public listing and an additional $26 billion via private placement, a combined capital raise that would exceed the scale of the SpaceX IPO.

Nvidia has committed $10 billion toward the private placement. This commitment is expected to remain intact despite the recent departure of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Investors consider the listing a critical liquidity event for the AI sector and a primary bellwether for current AI valuations.

In anticipation of the debut, Trading Sphere plans to offer day-one contract for difference trading for Anthropic shares. This will allow traders to take long or short positions using leverage up to 20x.
