## Key points

- UK platforms are taking orders for Anthropic shares ahead of its 19 November IPO.
- The offer targets a $1.4 trillion valuation, with 20 per cent reserved for retail investors.
- Orders close on 18 November, but UK allocation remains unconfirmed.

## Summary

UK investment platforms are accepting retail orders for Anthropic shares ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing on 19 November, in a deal targeting a $1.4 trillion valuation. The offer gives British investors access to a major US IPO through the Financial Conduct Authority’s public offer platform regime, and could make Anthropic one of the most valuable companies to list.

Anthropic plans to issue 825 million shares at an estimated $70 to $78 each, with 20 per cent of the offer reserved for retail investors; the number allocated to the UK is not yet known. Orders close on 18 November, and minimum investments vary, including £250 at Hargreaves Lansdown and £1,000 at AJ Bell. Interest follows SpaceX’s UK retail offer, which drew more than 100,000 applications for nearly $1 billion of shares, though recent technology-sector losses and Anthropic’s lower-than-previously estimated valuation may affect demand.
