Anthropic moves closer to mega-IPO as bankers line up investor meetings

Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude models, is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO, the process of selling shares in a private company to the public) later in 2025, with bankers already scheduling investor meetings to gauge demand. The company filed its IPO prospectus confidentially with the SEC and could potentially go public as early as October, which would make it one of the first major AI startups to enter public markets.
