Anthropic files for IPO, targets November listing with $2 trillion valuation

Anthropic filed for an IPO on Monday and aims to go public by the end of November, with a potential valuation between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. The seven co-founders, who each own roughly 240 million shares, have pledged 80% of their personal equity to charity, yet plan to retain 50.1% voting control via a special Class F share. Tom Brown holds the largest stake at 244 million shares. The founders, who left OpenAI in 2021, could each see stakes worth up to $29 billion at the higher valuation. The company will list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.
