According to the latest draft of Anthropic's initial public offering prospectus, seen by Reuters on Tuesday, the artificial intelligence company and some existing shareholders plan to offer shares at an indicative price range of $70 to $78 per share. At that range the offering could raise up to $64.4 billion.
The document states that Anthropic is preparing for an investor roadshow for the IPO. It also indicates that, in addition to the company selling new shares, a number of current owners would sell existing shares as part of the transaction. Anthropic did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
Why this matters
- The $70–78 per-share range and a potential $64.4 billion capital raise would make this one of the largest IPOs in the AI sector, reflecting substantial market interest in a developer of generative artificial intelligence.
- The involvement of existing shareholders selling stock sheds light on the deal structure and liquidity intentions, which can affect investor demand and the initial supply of shares.
Risks and next steps
The final per-share price and the actual amount raised will depend on investor feedback during the roadshow and the final prospectus terms. Anthropic will disclose the definitive offering details as the process advances and when the company files its final documentation.
