Global AI giants are racing to tap into the capital markets, with Claude's developer Anthropic accelerating its path to securitization by considering an IPO as early as October this year, aiming to go public ahead of OpenAI. Currently, Anthropic has engaged in preliminary discussions with top Wall Street investment banks such as Goldman Sachs. The expected fundraising from this IPO is projected to exceed $60 billion. The company just completed a $3 billion funding round in February this year, reaching a post-money valuation of $380 billion, with shareholders including tech giants like Google. Previously, Anthropic was listed by the U.S. Pentagon as a 'supply chain risk entity,' but a court ruling on Thursday supported Anthropic by lifting restrictions on its technology use, clearing a critical hurdle for its IPO.
