Nvidia Reportedly in Talks for $10B Anchor Investment in Anthropic's $2T IPO

Reuters, citing sources, reports that Nvidia is considering an anchor investment of about $10 billion in Anthropic's upcoming IPO. The IPO targets a valuation of up to $2 trillion and could raise as much as $100 billion, which would make it the largest IPO in capital markets history. Talks are not finalized and terms could change.

Confirmed

The claim originates from a Reuters report relayed by @1411337 and later detailed by @rohanpaulai and @新智元, among others.
Anthropic's planned IPO valuation is up to about $2 trillion, with an offering size of up to $100 billion.
An anchor investment means subscribing before the broader roadshow; talks are incomplete and terms may change.
@salahuddin notes the irony that Dario Amodei has again backed restricting Nvidia's exports to China, making the potential investment notable.
Polymarket has seen market activity around the rumor.

Unconfirmed

Neither party has officially confirmed the investment; @ns123abc and @IgorCarron stress the claim is third-hand and unverified.
@iruletheworldmo comments on the timing, noting Anthropic is simultaneously promoting its models, and sarcastically hopes the company will talk less about safety once funded.

Why it matters

If completed at this scale, it would be the largest IPO in the history of capital markets.
For Nvidia, it would deepen the capital and business ties between the leading chip supplier and a top model company, another landmark deal in AI supply-chain vertical integration.
