Anthropic targets $2 trillion IPO, opens to Australian buyers
The AI company will list at US$70 to US$78 per share, valuing it at up to US$1.4 trillion.
Anthropic has confirmed its Nasdaq listing will price shares between US$70 and US$78 each, aiming for a peak valuation of US$1.4 trillion (A$2 trillion). The listing will raise about US$61 billion at the mid-point price.
The valuation is about 30 per cent below earlier expectations, reflecting recent volatility in AI markets. Australian investors will get their first chance to buy shares via Commsec, Stake, Sharesies, and major brokers including Morgan Stanley and Macquarie.
The company, founded in January 2021, generated US$33.2 billion in revenue in the first nine months of 2026 and expects to reach US$81 billion over the next 12 months.
