Anthropic IPO: AI Giant in Talks With Nvidia for USD 10 Billion Anchor Investment Ahead of Historic Listing
Anthropic is reportedly in talks with Nvidia to secure up to USD 10 billion as an anchor investment for a potential IPO that could raise as much as USD 100 billion and value the AI company at around USD 2 trillion. The planned listing, expected before the US midterm elections, highlights growing ties between AI developers and chipmakers.
Artificial intelligence pioneer Anthropic is currently engaged in high-level discussions to bring chipmaking giant Nvidia on board as a primary anchor investor for what is anticipated to become the largest public listing in corporate history. The startup is aiming to raise as much as USD 100 billion, a capital injection that would position its valuation at approximately USD 2 trillion.
As per a report by Reuters, Nvidia is evaluating a commitment of up to USD 10 billion to support the offering. While discussions remain confidential and subject to change, securing a prominent anchor backer like Nvidia is expected to bolster market confidence ahead of the anticipated public debut, which is slated to proceed before the US midterm elections in November.

Deepening Ties Between AI Developers and Chipmakers
The potential financial commitment highlights the intricate relationship connecting frontier AI model developers with the hardware infrastructure providers essential for training and scaling advanced systems. Anthropic depends extensively on Nvidia graphics processing units while simultaneously working to diversify its hardware supply chain to manage surging user demand for its Claude models.
Previous corporate alignments established a strong foundation for this partnership, including a late 2025 agreement where Nvidia committed up to $10 billion alongside substantial cloud computing commitments. Furthermore, Anthropic maintains robust strategic and financial backing from other major technology leaders, including multi-year infrastructure commitments with Amazon and Google.
Market Impact and Surging Revenue Growth
The upcoming listing reflects rapid financial expansion across the artificial intelligence sector, driven by unprecedented demand for enterprise automation and computing resources.
