The investment banks involved in the process have told investors that Anthropic is prioritizing existing shareholders when distributing shares in the listing. Some speculators may therefore receive significantly smaller stakes than they expected.
Scandal-hit Nvidia, which lost its CEO, Jensen Huang, this week, has committed to buying around $10 billion worth of Anthropic shares in the listing, out of a total of $26 billion earmarked for designated stakeholders.
Anthropic, whose AI app is Claude, aims to raise just over $90 billion in cash in the listing. The company is valued at an estimated $1.4 trillion.
The strong demand could drive up the amounts.
