What happened
Anthropic will offer 825 million Class A shares at $70 to $78 each, raising $57.75 billion to $64.35 billion, with total net proceeds of $84.6 billion to $93.7 billion.
Why it matters
The founders hold a Class F share with 50.1% of the voting power, and the Long-Term Benefit Trust elects a board majority, so Class A buyers have limited influence.

The updated filing lands against a backdrop the company itself acknowledges: shakier markets and a broader pullback from AI investing. A $1.404 trillion fully diluted valuation at the top of the range would still trail the $2 trillion Anthropic was reportedly targeting a couple months ago, even as it exceeds the $965 billion valuation from a May fundraise.
The filing also details a separate private placement of $26 billion in non-voting Class N stock at the IPO price to AMD, Broadcom, Google, Micron, Microsoft, Nvidia and TSMC, with Google and Nvidia investing $10 billion apiece. That arrangement sits alongside the public offering, which is expected to allocate up to 20% of shares to retail investors and is set to start trading on the Nasdaq close to November 19 under the ticker "ANT".
The governance structure gives the founders a Class F share carrying 50.1% of the voting power, while the Long-Term Benefit Trust elects a board majority — a setup that leaves Class A buyers with limited influence over decisions. Financially, the company reported run-rate revenue of $81 billion by the end of October, up about $10 billion from the end of September, alongside a nine-month net loss of $104 billion and $900.9 billion in compute and infrastructure commitments. The filing also adopts "super intelligence" and "SI" interchangeably with "artificial intelligence" and "AI," citing a September executive order from Trump directing government departments to use the new terminology.
