Anthropic, the AI startup behind Claude , sent out and then retracted details of its blockbuster IPO filing, Reuters reported citing emails to bankers. According to the email, Anthropic PBC was aiming to raise as much as $69.3 billion through its initial public offering.
The artificial intelligence company first sent a copy of a filing that showed Anthropic aimed to sell about 867 million shares in a price range of $70 to $80 per share, then followed up with an email saying details about the pricing were inaccurate. Anthropic in the second email, said it would update the filing later.
According to Bloomberg, potential investors were discussing valuations between $1.1 trillion and $1.3 trillion for the company after the US midterm elections last week forced a rethink of AI valuations.
