Anthropic retracts IPO filing after sending bankers wrong price range; Google, Nvidia, Microsoft take $26B private slice
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-11-10
Per Reuters, Anthropic first filed to sell 867M shares at $70-80, then emailed that pricing details were inaccurate and would update the filing. The corrected range may come lower, as big investors have pushed back on the $1.5T valuation talk since last week's selloff.
The $26B private allocation goes to Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, and TSMC — essentially the companies Anthropic pays for chips and cloud. Anthropic raises money from its own compute suppliers, with much of it flowing right back; retail investors only get whatever the stock opens at.
