Anthropic Plans Blockbuster IPO With Direct Offering to Australian Retail Investors

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, has filed to go public with a record-breaking initial offering that will give retail investors in Australia direct access to shares—a rare opportunity in the U.S. tech market's largest IPO pipeline. The San Francisco-based startup submitted its prospectus to regulators on October 26 and could begin trading on Nasdaq under ticker ANT as early as mid-November, potentially eclipsing the SpaceX IPO that raised $86 billion in June.
