Anthropic reportedly preparing for $300B IPO

1. Sounds like exactly when early investors and insiders would want to cash in and when retail investors who “have heard of the company and like the product” will buy without a lot of financial analysis.

2. A 300bn IPO can mean actually raising n 300bn by selling 100% of the company. But it could also mean seeing 1% for 3bn right? Which seems like a trivial amount for the market to absorb no?

> A 300bn IPO ... raising 3bn

Would be so massively oversubscribed that it would become a $600bn company by the end of the day (which is a good tactic for future fund raising too).

I suspect if/when Anthropic does its next raise VCs will be buyers still not sellers.
