The capital influx arrives as Anthropic prepares for an initial public offering, with a trading debut targeted before Nov. 26 and formal marketing scheduled for the week of Nov. 9. Investors estimate a fair valuation for the AI lab between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion, though some analysts suggest $1.5 trillion. An IPO prospectus reveals Anthropic has total infrastructure obligations of $518 billion over the next decade, 80% of which are noncancelable, including up to $84.5 billion in Nvidia compute via SpaceX by 2029.
