Anthropic to raise $64bn in major stock market listing

Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, is planning to raise up to $64bn (£48bn) when it lists its shares for sale on New York's Nasdaq stock exchange. The loss-making company said it will offer its shares for between $70 and $78 each in its initial public offering (IPO), which is expected to go ahead this month.

Fiona Cincotta, a senior market analyst at City Index, said the amount Anthropic wants to raise is "fairly bullish" within "the volatility [and] concerns towards AI that we've seen in sort of particularly last week". She told Reuters: "It's showing that they are still sort of upbeat about the outlook as far as AI is concerned and that obviously that they think that the demand is going to be there."
