Anthropic's trillion-dollar IPO is coming, but retail investors could have owned AI stock much earlier

Anthropic is targeting an IPO that could value the AI company at more than $1.4 trillion, though retail investors had several earlier routes to gain exposure. The article does not specify a listing date, share price, or exchange, and notes that investors could have bought in well before the offering through other channels. The scale of the potential valuation would make Anthropic one of the largest AI listings to date and a test of public-market appetite for frontier model developers. What to watch next is the formal filing, which should disclose the share count, pricing range, and the timing of the offering.
