Eric Schmidt Stake Worth Up To $20 Billion In Anthropic IPO
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt holds a 1 percent stake in Anthropic that could reach a value of tens of billions of dollars, or as much as $20 billion, during the company's upcoming public offering. Anthropic is positioning itself for a massive Nasdaq listing with a target valuation of $2 trillion, potentially backed by Nvidia as an anchor investor committing up to $10 billion. The public debut is slated to occur before Thanksgiving and is reportedly framed as the final artificial intelligence initial public offering of the year as broader sector funding contracts.
Why it matters
The impending market debut comes amid severe financial scrutiny, including leaked documents showing an operating loss exceeding $8 billion alongside slowing revenue growth. Research firm New Constructs disputes the company's high valuation target, arguing that achieving a $2 trillion worth would require profits double those of Nvidia by the year 2035. Meanwhile, a secretive trust adds further complexity to the listing process as the broader artificial intelligence funding environment faces a rapid contraction.
What is confirmed
- Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt holds a 1 percent stake in Anthropic.
- Eric Schmidt's stake could be worth tens of billions of dollars, or as much as $20 billion, at the time of the public offering.
Still unconfirmed

Nvidia considers $10 billion investment in Anthropic's $2 trillion IPO
Nvidia is in talks to serve as an anchor investor for Anthropic's Nasdaq listing, potentially committing up to $10 billion. Anthropic targets a $2 trillion valuation and plans to list before Thanksgiving. However, the company faces scrutiny over its financials, including an operating loss exceeding $8 billion and slowing revenue growth. While leaked documents show 2025 revenue grew 12-fold to nearly $4.6 billion, research firm New Constructs argues the company may only be worth $144 billion, claiming a $2 trillion value would require profits twice those of Nvidia by 2035.
Why it matters
The scale of this offering could make it the largest IPO in history. It occurs amid a broader selloff of data center stocks and increasing skepticism regarding AI revenue growth. The outcome will signal whether the market continues to value AI firms on growth projections or shifts toward profitability.
What is confirmed
- Anthropic plans to list on the Nasdaq before Thanksgiving.
- Anthropic targets a valuation of $2 trillion.
- New Constructs values Anthropic at $144 billion.
Still unconfirmed

Anthropic targets $2 trillion valuation for November IPO amid $518 billion cost plan
Anthropic plans a November IPO seeking a $2 trillion valuation, double its Series H pricing of $965 billion. An SEC filing reveals the company intends to spend $518 billion to develop AI models, asserting that AI will transform the economy more than electricity or the internet. Nvidia is negotiating to be an anchor investor with a potential $10 billion commitment. Despite the ambition, the prospectus warns that these products could pose existential risks to humanity, and the company reports heavy losses.
Why it matters
The IPO aims to raise up to $100 billion to fund massive infrastructure costs. Nvidia's potential investment creates a circular financial relationship where the hardware provider banks the company that buys its chips. Market analysts express concern that these high valuations and losses signal an AI bubble.

- The company plans to spend $518 billion to build its AI models.
