Anthropic files for Nasdaq listing under ticker ANT

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has filed an S-1 registration statement to list its stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT, Crypto Briefing and MobiHealthNews reported. Direct investment remains limited to institutional avenues or indirect exposure through stakeholder firms until the listing is executed, according to Crypto Briefing. CNBC Tech reported that the over 300-page prospectus represents the most comprehensive public statement to date on how a pure-play AI lab generates revenue. [1][3][10]

The prospective listing could value the developer of the Claude models at over $1 trillion, according to CNBC Tech, while Crypto Briefing and CoinGeek reported that valuation estimates reach as high as $2 trillion. The filing revealed that Chief Executive Dario Amodei and his six co-founders each own more than 200 million shares, CNBC Tech reported. Official initial public offering terms have not been confirmed, Crypto Briefing said. [1][3][11]

Following the offering, Anthropic is expected to receive a high junk rating from credit rating agencies, TechCrunch AI reported, citing a report from the Financial Times. TechCrunch AI added that investment firm Blackstone, an anchor investor in a recent $63 billion chip financing deal for Anthropic, informed investors that it expects the junk rating. Such a rating would make raising capital more expensive to support its spending, TechCrunch AI noted. [2]

The company operates under a governance model including an independent Long-Term Benefit Trust and trains its models using Constitutional AI, a technique relying on natural-language principles. As FTMQ Startups reported earlier, Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue during the first half of the year while planning to allocate $807 billion toward AI infrastructure. [14][16]
