Anthropic moves ahead with IPO plans despite Nasdaq sell-off and valuation doubts
Anthropic is pushing ahead with its IPO despite a steep Nasdaq sell-off and a scandal involving a CEO central to the AI boom, according to a Wall Street Journal report relayed by TechCrunch. The company reportedly plans to set its valuation range this week and to begin trading on the Thursday or Friday of the following week. Some institutional investors want a valuation below the $1.5 trillion figure discussed last week, which was itself well under the $2 trillion floated months earlier. Rival OpenAI was reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion after raising $11 billion, short of the $20 billion it had sought. This is business and market news with no direct threat to defenders, so its criticity is low.

The same page states that Anthropic has not announced a pricing date or a first trading day (leverageshares.com). The article's version, a valuation range to be set this week and trading expected the following week, is the more recent account and is based on the Wall Street Journal report it cites (techcrunch.com).
