How much is Anthropic actually worth?
By Google News AI ·
As speculation surrounding a potential Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) IPO intensifies, questions are mounting over the AI startup's shifting valuation. The 8:30 hosts Julie Hyman, Pras Subramanian, and Jake Conley examine what's driving the fluctuations and whether Anthropic's growth prospects can justify its potential price tag.
two headlines here, even after the market bleed. and when the market did bleed last week, there were a lot of questions about, does this change the valuation for Anthropic? Do they actually hold back their IPO? The FT reporting this morning that no, Anthropic is planning to push forward looking for one and a half trillion dollars in valuation with a range of roughly 1.25 trillion to 1.75 trillion.
Both of the all three of those numbers would be a step up from the roughly $950 billion the company's worth right now, but it is a major haircut from the two trillion
they were originally looking for. The other go ahead go ahead. go ahead go ahead. We'll get to the second headline after. Let's take the IPO.
Yeah, so so I would argue that I'm just this is I'm just positing here that some of the market anst last week was concerned that Anthropic wasn't about to raise as much money as people thought. and this is a very big concern about the prospects of the AI trade. Why aren't investors wanting to, you know, fulfill that $1.5 trillion dollar, you know, potential market cap? What's the concern? What are they seeing?
You know, maybe that sort of led to some concern and that led to uh you know, some of these names um puke a little bit uh last week. So um that's sort of I think it's all tied together and and and you know, it's it brings it back to SpaceX talking about how they timed it perfectly.
They got out, got ahead perfectly. And and this case maybe speed wins and I think maybe any kind of delay
By the way, I did notice SpaceX shares were up in pre-market trading a little bit.
Yeah. Amongst amongst those that are up.
Uh you know, there's also like so there there are so many different parts of this AI angst from, you know, actual concern to sort of existential concerns.
