Anthropic retracted a draft IPO filing it had shared with banks, citing inaccuracies in the pricing figures. The filing showed up to $69.3 billion in potential proceeds. The company plans to update it but has not disclosed new details.
Anthropic pulled back a draft IPO filing after it contained inaccuracies in its pricing figures. The document had gone to banks, and the company says it intends to file a corrected version.
MarketWatch described the episode as what could be viewed as a rough start to the rollout of the Claude chatbot maker's initial public offering. Reuters reported that Anthropic late Monday briefly circulated the filing before withdrawing it.
According to the Reuters report cited by MarketWatch, the filing planned the sale of 843.3 million shares at $70 to $80 each, with an additional 23.3 million shares to come from existing shareholders. At the upper end of that range, the offering would raise $69.3 billion.
Because Anthropic has not released corrected numbers, the final valuation and offering size remain uncertain, according to Crypto Briefing. The outlet also points to market activity that suggests lower confidence in a market capitalization above $1.25T at the IPO close.
