What happened
Anthropic filed to go public seeking a valuation of about $1.4 trillion and plans to sell 825 million shares at $70‑$78 each, with the IPO expected to start trading on November 19 or 20. The company also secured a private side deal for an additional $26 billion from major tech firms buying nonvoting Class N shares at the same price.
Why it matters
The high‑valued IPO highlights the scale of investor interest in frontier AI firms, while the private side‑letter gives tech giants immediate exposure without the usual lock‑up restrictions.
