Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup, could pursue an initial public offering aimed at raising $100 billion, according to NYT Technology. The company’s bankers have told potential investors that the offering could value the five-year-old firm at $2 trillion.
If realized, this valuation would exceed that of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, making it one of the most valuable private companies considering going public. The reported figures represent banker presentations to potential investors, though no formal IPO plans have been announced.
Anthropic, founded in 2021, has emerged as a major player in the AI industry, developing Claude, a large language model that competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI assistants. The potential blockbuster IPO would mark a significant milestone for the relatively young company as AI continues to attract massive investor interest and capital.
