[Anthropic plans to raise up to US$90.4 billion through IPO and private placement, expected to surpass SpaceX record] On November 10th, Anthropic PBC sought to achieve a fully diluted valuation of approximately US$1.4 trillion in an initial public offering (IPO), striving to become the first cutting-edge artificial intelligence laboratory to go public. The developer of the Claude chatbot and some of its shareholders are seeking to raise up to $90.4 billion through an IPO and private placement. According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, the underlying offering intends to raise up to $64.4 billion, with the stock being offered in a price range of $70 to $78 per share. Anthropic will issue 801.4 million shares and its investors will sell 23.6 million shares. The offering also includes a private placement that will raise a total of $26 billion, including AMD, Broadcom, Alphabet's Google, Micron Technology, Microsoft, Nvidia and TSMC, according to the filing. Anthropic's ambitious financing target, including private placements, will reach about $100 billion when including the so-called over-allotment option. That would exceed SpaceX’s $75 billion base offering and the $86.2 billion it raised after exercising its over-allotment option.
