Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO could turn staff into millionaires—but the AI firm is asking candidates what they’d do if stock fell to zero | Fortune

Anthropic is weighing an IPO that could value the AI firm at up to $2 trillion, a listing that would mint millionaires across its employee base. The company is screening candidates with an unusual interview question—what they would do if the stock fell to zero—signaling a focus on resilience over equity-driven motivation. The move comes as AI valuations draw scrutiny, and Anthropic's offering would rank among the largest in history if it reaches that valuation. Investors will be watching for confirmation of the listing, the final valuation, and how the company frames equity risk to prospective hires.
