Anthropic’s upcoming IPO could unlock hundreds of billions in value for major stakeholders including Amazon, Alphabet, and Salesforce.
Amazon and Alphabet hold 21% and 15% stakes in Anthropic, respectively, positioning both for significant valuation gains as the AI firm prepares for its public debut. Salesforce also stands to benefit, turning a $50 million investment into a $5 billion stake ahead of the IPO.
Anthropic’s decision to go public follows SpaceX’s market debut at a $1.75 trillion valuation, signaling a potential surge in AI-related stock valuations. Revised index rules may accelerate inclusion in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, further boosting market exposure.
Investors are eyeing indirect exposure through major backers like Amazon, Alphabet, and Salesforce, rather than pre-IPO access to Anthropic itself. The IPO could mark a pivotal moment in the AI rally, driving broader market gains.
