Anthropic Plans Live-Streamed IPO Conversation Between Amodei and JPMorgan's Dimon

The event would be part of the marketing push for what could be one of the largest share sales on record, and would put two of the most prominent figures in AI and banking in front of retail and institutional investors at the same time. Neither company has publicly confirmed the plan, and no date has been reported.

According to Bloomberg, formal marketing of the offering could begin as soon as Tuesday, with a Nasdaq debut targeted before November 26. Anthropic has said it plans to trade under the ticker ANT.

The terms of the deal remain unclear. On Monday, Anthropic sent bankers a copy of its filing showing about 867 million shares priced at $70 to $80 each, then followed up with an email saying the pricing details were incorrect and that an updated filing would be provided later. The company declined to comment further. At the top of that range, the share sale would have raised about $69.3 billion.

Amodei and Dimon have appeared together before, discussing the AI boom, regulation and the impact of the technology on jobs in a televised conversation in May. A live-streamed format for an IPO pitch is unusual for a listing of this size, where marketing has traditionally centred on closed-door meetings with fund managers.

The offering comes after a difficult stretch for AI stocks, which sold off sharply last week on concern that Democratic gains in the US midterm elections could slow data-centre development, before rebounding on Monday. Anthropic's most recent private funding round, a Series H, valued the company at $965 billion, and the public listing will set the first market price for a frontier AI lab at that scale.

The corrected filing, with a confirmed share count and price range, is the next document investors will be watching for.
