Anthropic IPO Targets $64.4B Raise at $1.4T Value, Adding to Crypto Nerves

Anthropic is aiming to raise up to $64.4 billion in its initial public offering, alongside a $26 billion private placement, CoinDesk reported on Friday, November 13. The same report put the target fully diluted valuation at about $1.4 trillion, so the $64 billion figure circulating in some social posts describes the size of the raise, not the company’s value.

CoinDesk said Bloomberg reported orders for roughly six times the shares on offer, and that Nvidia has committed around $10 billion to the private placement. Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate reached $81 billion at the end of October, up $10 billion in a month, according to the report. Shares are expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, and CoinDesk gave no specific listing date.

The crypto link is liquidity and sentiment. CoinDesk compared bitcoin’s current six-week slide with the sell-off before the SpaceX IPO: between June 1 and June 5, bitcoin fell roughly 20%, from around $75,000 to $60,000, then rebounded toward $68,000 after that offering launched. The outlet framed the Anthropic deal as one more large demand on investor capital while the Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates by 25 basis points on December 9.

None of this shows a direct causal tie; traders are watching whether the listing pulls money from risk assets such as crypto.
