Anthropic Launches IPO Roadshow: $70 to $78 per Share for 825 Million Shares, Plus a $26 Billion Private Placement from NVIDIA, Google, and Five Others
On November 10, Anthropic announced the launch of its IPO roadshow. It plans to offer 825 million Class A shares, about 801 million from the company and about 23.65 million from existing stockholders, at an expected $70 to $78 per share, and to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as ANT. S-1 Amendment No. 2, filed the same day, shows AMD, Broadcom, Google, Micron, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and TSMC buying a combined $26 billion of Class N stock at the IPO price. At the $74 midpoint, the company expects net proceeds of about $84.6 billion.

Key Takeaways
- Size: 825 million Class A shares, 801,351,354 from the company and 23,648,646 from selling stockholders, plus a 30-day underwriter option for up to 123.75 million more (official announcement)
- Price range: $70 to $78 per share, ticker ANT on the Nasdaq Global Select Market; Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley lead a 23-bank syndicate
- Concurrent $26 billion private placement (at the $74 midpoint): about $10 billion each from Google and NVIDIA, $2.5 billion from AMD, $1 billion each from Broadcom, Micron, and Microsoft, and $500 million from TSMC, all buying Class N stock at the IPO price
- Proceeds: about $84.6 billion net from the IPO and private placement at the $74 midpoint, or about $93.7 billion if the underwriter option is fully exercised; uses include compute and infrastructure (per the S-1/A)
- Share count: about 13.087 billion shares of all classes after the offering; a rough calculation puts the price range at about $916 billion to $1.02 trillion in market value (our estimate, not an official valuation)
