Anthropic "accidentally" leaks IPO documents! Plans to raise $69.3 billion, valuation drops from 2 trillion to 1.3 trillion

According to reports from Golden Ten Data APP, Anthropic PBC once issued and subsequently withdrew a document that appeared to indicate its plan to raise up to $69.3 billion through an initial public offering (IPO).

According to informed sources, the AI lab initially sent bankers a copy of the document showing its intention to issue around 867 million shares at a price range of $70 to $80 per share, but then followed up with an email stating that these details were inaccurate.

This AI lab is preparing to advance its stock market listing at a time when the market is digesting the potential impact of the US midterm elections, with increased technology sector volatility and trillions of dollars in market value wiped out in a single day.

Potential investors are weighing a valuation of $1.1 trillion to $1.3 trillion for the creator of the Claude chatbot, a decrease from the estimated fair value of up to $2 trillion in early October.

The Democratic Party's sweeping victory in Congress has not only raised concerns about rising debt levels and safety issues in the AI sector, but also led to renewed scrutiny over the pace of data center expansion.
