Per Levels.fyi calculations based on Anthropic's round-by-round share prices, if the company IPOs at a $1.5T valuation ($87/share), the value of an identical $1M stock grant varies enormously by joining year:
- 2023 (Series C, $1.12/share): $78M, a 78x gain
- 2024 (Series D): $29M, 29x
- Early 2025 (Series E): $16M, 16x
- Late 2025 (Series F): $6.2M, 6.2x
- Early 2026 (Series G): $3.4M, 3.4x
- Mid 2026 (Series H, $58.90/share): $1.5M, just 1.5x
The post says Anthropic plans to move ahead with its IPO next week. All figures are pre-tax estimates; the gap between earliest and latest grants spans up to 52x (78x per the chart).
