Anthropic reportedly pushes ahead with IPO despite market jitters
Anthropic is pressing forward with its IPO, planning to set a valuation range this week and start trading next Thursday or Friday, according to The Wall Street Journal. The listing lands after a Nasdaq sell-off and a scandal involving a prominent AI CEO, with investors watching the valuation as a test of the AI boom.

Anthropic plans to set a valuation range this week and begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week, The Wall Street Journal reported. The IPO would launch shortly after one of Nasdaq's biggest sell-offs and amid revelations that a CEO central to the AI boom had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
Investors will use Anthropic's valuation to gauge the strength of the AI boom. Some institutional investors are pushing for a valuation below the $1.5 trillion target discussed as recently as last week. That figure was already considerably below the $2 trillion floated a few months ago.
OpenAI, Anthropic's main rival, was reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion last week after raising $11 billion in fresh capital. That was short of the $20 billion it had initially sought.
