Anthropic's valuation targets $2 trillion, funding may exceed $100 billion

Comparing the news, according to the “New York Times”, two people familiar with the matter revealed that Anthropic recently stated during discussions with potential investors that the San Francisco-based company may seek to raise more than 100 billion US dollars in an initial public offering.

According to people familiar with the matter, the offering could also raise the company's valuation to $2 trillion. If successful, Anthropic, which is only five years old, will set the record for the largest public offering in history, surpassing the record set by Musk's SpaceX in June this year — the latter was valued at $1.77 trillion when it went public and raised $85.7 billion. It would also be a major leap forward for Anthropic.

The company reached a valuation of $900 billion in a private funding round this year and submitted a listing application in June.
