Anthropic is widely expected to go public before the end of 2026, with top-end estimates valuing it at up to $2 trillion, according to TechCrunch citing Bloomberg (techcrunch.com). The latest private valuation is $965 billion (techcrunch.com). Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt reportedly holds about 1% after investing tens of millions of dollars in the 2021 Series A, roughly half of the stake attributed to co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, who is said to hold about 2% (techcrunch.com). At the current private valuation Schmidt's stake is worth nearly $10 billion, and an IPO at the top-end estimate could add as much as $20 billion to his net worth, currently put at $57.5 billion (techcrunch.com). Other backers also hold multibillion-dollar stakes: Iconiq ($17 billion after a $6 billion investment), Menlo Ventures ($14 billion), Spark Capital ($7 billion), Sequoia (more than doubled its $3 billion investment) and Sound Ventures (stake worth billions) (techcrunch.com). Schmidt invests through Tomorrow Ventures, Innovation Endeavors Management and the family office Hillspire, and has also backed Mistral, General Intuition and Reflection AI (techcrunch.com). Neither Schmidt nor Anthropic had commented as of the first report (techcrunch.com). The coverage is financial and business news only, with no security incident, vulnerability or threat activity, so there are no direct defender actions.
Relatos divergentes
- The valuation figures are not contradictory but depend on the scenario. The 20 October report (techcrunch.com) gives the IPO upside of up to $20 billion for Schmidt at a $2 trillion valuation. The more recent 23 October report (techcrunch.com) values his 1% stake at nearly $10 billion at the $965 billion private valuation.
- All figures are Bloomberg-sourced estimates relayed by TechCrunch. They are unconfirmed by Anthropic or the investors, and the IPO timing is an expectation, not an announced event.
