Anthropic has chosen Nasdaq for its IPO and may raise up to $100 billion

The American AI startup Anthropic has chosen Nasdaq for its potential initial public offering (IPO). The company aims to raise up to $100 billion through the IPO, with its valuation potentially reaching around $2 trillion.

Nvidia is considering investing up to $10 billion in the offering and becoming a lead investor. Negotiations are ongoing, so the terms of the deal may still change.

Nvidia's potential participation would continue its partnership with Anthropic. The startup actively uses Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) to train and run AI models.

In November 2025, Nvidia already agreed to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic as part of a broader partnership. At that time, Anthropic committed to purchasing $30 billion worth of Azure computing power from Microsoft, powered by Nvidia chips.

Among Anthropic's major investors and partners are also Amazon and Google. The company continues to expand its computing capacity amid growing demand for its AI model, Claude. In April, Anthropic agreed to invest more than $100 billion in Amazon Web Services infrastructure over ten years.

In May, Anthropic raised $65 billion at a valuation of $965 billion. By the end of July, the company's annualized revenue had exceeded $65 billion, compared to approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025.

Anthropic's potential IPO could take place before the U.S. midterm elections in November. If successful, the company's valuation could reach $2 trillion.
