## Key points

- Anthropic is seeking up to $100 billion in a potentially record IPO.
- Seven technology firms have pledged $26 billion after the listing.
- Market uncertainty is testing investor appetite for AI spending.

## Summary

Anthropic is pitching investors ahead of a planned share sale that could become the largest initial public offering on record. Its chief executive, Dario Amodei, projected confidence despite unsettled markets, while the company’s extensive banking effort and major technology backers show how much is riding on a successful listing.

The company is seeking to raise up to $100 billion at a valuation of up to $1.4 trillion, below the $2 trillion figure bankers discussed over the summer. Twenty-two banks are involved, and seven technology firms, including Broadcom, Nvidia and Microsoft, have committed $26 billion to invest after the listing; individual investors are expected to account for about 20 per cent of the offering. Anthropic is also telling investors it plans to use the proceeds to develop its own chips and data centres, while presenting early work in drug development and laboratory automation.
