IT Home reported on November 10, citing the latest Reuters coverage and a tip from reader 咩咩洋, that Anthropic withdrew a securities filing shortly after copies were sent to banks. The company said pricing details in the document were inaccurate and that an updated filing would follow.
The withdrawn filing described a plan to sell 866.7 million Class A shares in an IPO: about 843.3 million from Anthropic and 23.3 million from existing shareholders. At the top of a stated target range of $70 to $80 per share, the amount would reach $69.3 billion.
The same document said Alphabet’s Google, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, and TSMC had agreed to take part in a private placement of Anthropic Class N common stock at the IPO price, totaling $26 billion, to close immediately after the IPO.
IT Home also pointed to a related report that Anthropic planned to raise up to $69.3 billion through the IPO, a figure described as among the two largest on record.
