Anthropic’s planned initial public offering has drawn about six times the orders for the shares available, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, 12 November 2026, pointing to strong demand for the maker of the Claude chatbot.
Bankers told prospective investors that Anthropic will prioritise its existing backers, according to people familiar with the matter. That could leave some would-be buyers with smaller allocations than they had expected.
The offering could value Anthropic at up to $1.4 trillion, slightly below some investor expectations. The listing is being watched as a key test of Wall Street’s confidence in the artificial intelligence boom.
Anthropic and some existing shareholders aim to raise up to $64.4 billion by selling 825 million shares priced at $70 to $78 each. The shares are expected to start trading on the Nasdaq on 19 November under the symbol “ANT”.
Details of the IPO, including the demand for shares, could change, according to the report. Anthropic could not immediately be reached for comment.
