Anthropic intends to push ahead with its IPO despite shakier markets and the broader pullback from AI investing.
The Claude-maker said in an updated IPO filing on Tuesday that it would be offering a total of 825 million Class A shares at an estimated price range of $70 to $78 per share. The sale is expected to raise anywhere from $57.75 billion to $64.35 billion.
The company could end up being worth a hefty $1.404 trillion if its shares list at the top of the price range, on a fully diluted basis. That would represent a significant jump up from the $965 billion valuation Anthropic reached in a May fundraise, but it’s still lower than the $2 trillion the company was reportedly targeting a couple months ago.
Separately, Anthropic said it had struck a deal to privately sell $26 billion of non-voting Class N stock at the IPO price to AMD, Broadcom, Google, Micron, Microsoft, Nvidia and TSMC. Google and Nvidia are investing $10 billion apiece.
All up, Anthropic estimates net proceeds to reach somewhere between $84.6 billion to $93.7 billion.
Underwriters, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, will have the option to buy up to 123.75 million more shares from Anthropic at the IPO price.
