  1. Anthropic targets $1.4 trillion valuation in upcoming IPO

    Anthropic is preparing for a Nasdaq initial public offering that values the AI lab at up to $1.4 trillion, according to multiple reports. The company has set an indicated price range of $70 to $78 per share and plans to raise between $64.4 billion and $69.3 billion, which would make it one of the largest IPOs ever. Seven existing investors, including Google, Nvidia and Microsoft, have committed roughly $26 billion to the offering. All seven founders intend to sell shares worth about $250 million each, and the company will host a live-streamed event featuring CEO Dario Amodei and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

    Why it matters

    The offering would test Wall Street's appetite for pure-play generative AI companies at a scale never before attempted. A $1.4 trillion valuation implies investors are pricing in dominant market share and sustained hyper-growth despite Anthropic's current revenue being a fraction of that implied multiple. The participation of major strategic backers signals confidence but also highlights the concentration of AI capital among a handful of tech giants.
