Wall Street Pitches Anthropic's IPO as Too Crucial to Fail

At a glance

Anthropic, the AI company, plans to sell its shares to the public soon. Wall Street banks are preparing large investor presentations to promote the company.

Key points

• Anthropic aims to raise up to $100 billion at a valuation of up to $1.4 trillion.
• That valuation is lower than the $2 trillion banks mentioned this summer.
• 22 banks are running the presentations, led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
• Individual investors are expected to buy about 20% of the offering.

Why it matters

This could be the largest IPO ever, so it may affect the AI industry and the wider investment market.
