According to emails seen by the media, details of Anthropic's high-profile IPO — including the AI company's plan to raise nearly $70 billion — were briefly distributed to various banks and then withdrawn on Monday evening. An Anthropic representative sent a copy of the securities declaration showing that the company plans to sell approximately 867 million shares in the price range of $70 to $80 per share, and then sent another email saying the pricing details were wrong. Anthropic said in a second email that the filing will be updated later. Anthropic declined to comment. The email did not clearly explain the details of the error to the investment bank, and the media agency was unable to determine the details of the error. The original email, which was withdrawn, revealed Anthropic plans to sell 866.7 million Class A shares, including a secondary offering. Anthropic itself will sell approximately 843.3 million shares, while existing shareholders will sell an additional 23.3 million shares. If calculated at the upper end of the price range, the IPO would raise 69.3 billion US dollars.
