Anthropic opens IPO roadshow with plans to list as ANT on Nasdaq
The offering would sell 825,000,000 Class A shares, with Anthropic receiving the proceeds from its own portion but none from existing stockholders' shares.
Anthropic has opened the roadshow for its planned initial public offering of Class A common stock, which would be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. The offering comprises 825,000,000 shares, of which Anthropic itself is selling 801,351,354 and existing stockholders 23,648,646, so the company receives none of the proceeds from the secondary portion. The expected price range is $70.00 to $78.00 per share, and underwriters are expected to receive a 30-day option on up to 123,750,000 additional shares. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are the underwriters named for the preliminary prospectus, and the registration statement is filed with the SEC but has not yet taken effect, so no shares can be sold until it does.
Why it matters
The roadshow marks the start of the marketing phase for a public listing that, once the registration statement takes effect, would make Anthropic's Class A shares tradable on Nasdaq. Until then, no shares can be sold. Investors can see the expected price range and the split between company and stockholder shares, which together show how much new capital Anthropic itself would raise and how much would go to existing holders.
