Anthropic plans to raise $64 billion in an IPO — only SpaceX had more.
One of the leading companies in the field of artificial intelligence and the developer of the chatbot Cloud intends to sell 825 million shares at a price of 70 to 78 dollars per share, according to documents submitted to the American Securities and Exchange Commission. Thus, the capitalization of the company may exceed a trillion dollars.
The company's shares will be traded on the Nasdaq Technology Exchange under the symbol ANT. According to reports in the American media, the initial public offering will take place after November 19.
Earlier in the media there were suggestions that Anthropic's IPO could scale the share position of SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk. In June, Musk's company raised $86 billion in an IPO.
At the same time, Anthropic warns that the company's business could suffer if its proprietary AI models cause any damage "due to malicious actors or misuse by third parties." Earlier, Anthropy CEO Dario Amoday joined calls to slow the pace of AI development.
