Anthropic expects its IPO price to be between $70.00 and $78.00 per share, which could value the company as high as $1.4 trillion. The listing could come as soon as next week on the Nasdaq under the symbol ANT.

Anthropic confirmed on Tuesday that its initial public offering could be one of the largest ever, though it falls short of earlier expectations. The New York Times reports that the expected price range would put the company's valuation as high as $1.4 trillion. Reuters notes that the offering had previously been expected to value Anthropic at as much as $2 trillion.

Citing its sources, The Wall Street Journal reports that Anthropic is aiming to begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week. Anthropic has applied to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ANT". As of last week, rival OpenAI was valued at $1.25 trillion.

The lower expectations follow months of debate over AI safety and midterm election results that showed weaker public opinion of AI companies and the data centers they are heavily investing in.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Once listed, Anthropic will be a publicly traded company, so its financial results and business decisions will face public disclosure and investor scrutiny. Developers who depend on Anthropic's products may find its pricing and product direction easier to track over time. The filing alone does not change any API, so agent builders have no immediate migration to make.
