Anthropic's IPO may be postponed until mid-October, with a target valuation of up to approximately 2 trillion USD

According to Reuters, citing informed sources, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic is adjusting its IPO plans, with a roadshow expected to start as early as mid-October, aiming to complete the listing before the U.S. midterm elections in November.

Informed sources revealed that Anthropic originally planned to publicly release its IPO prospectus as early as next week, but the expected release date has now been postponed to the end of September. If the latest plan proceeds, the company's listing valuation could reach as high as approximately $2 trillion, potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in history.

Meanwhile, Anthropic is advancing a $15 billion revolving credit facility. Bank analysts participating in this financing are expected to meet with the company before the prospectus is published. Institutions such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup are currently involved in the IPO preparation work.

This listing plan is expected to attract significant market attention and may coincide with potential listing plans from other AI companies like OpenAI.
