On the 12th, Reuters, citing informed sources, revealed that Nvidia is contemplating an investment of up to $10 billion to participate in the initial public offering (IPO) of Anthropic, a U.S.-based AI company. This move has raised industry concerns over potential circular investments within the AI sector. According to reports, Anthropic aims to raise up to $100 billion through its IPO, a figure that could surpass the $75 billion raised by SpaceX during its listing in June this year. The company’s target valuation stands at approximately $2 trillion. If achieved, this valuation would outstrip SpaceX’s $1.77 trillion valuation at the time of its listing, setting a new global benchmark for the valuation of a company preparing to go public.
