According to a Bloomberg report cited by X user rohanpaul_ai, AI company Anthropic has invited institutional investors to question its executives ahead of a possible initial public offering (IPO) that the company values at nearly $2 trillion. The session is scheduled for October 14 and could lead to formal marketing of the IPO as soon as the week of November 9, with trading potentially occurring before Thanksgiving. The report contrasts Anthropic's approach with that of rival OpenAI, which has ruled out a 2026 listing over safety concerns and is instead seeking at least $30 billion in private funding at a valuation of about $1.4 trillion. If the November schedule holds, SEC rules would require Anthropic to publish its S-1 registration statement by late October, at least 15 days before the roadshow begins.
