Separately, Anthropic set a $70 to $78 share price range for its IPO, valuing the Claude maker at roughly $1.4 trillion on a fully diluted basis. The offering could raise up to $64 billion, with Amazon and Google holding the largest paper gains. Trading is expected to start November 19 under the ticker ANT. Anthropic's bankers were previously reported to be weighing raising the IPO price past a $1.5 trillion valuation as orders piled up[2].
