GoKawiilAnthropic backers' stakes worth billions ahead of expected IPO
Bloomberg estimates the value of stakes held by several Anthropic investors based on the company's latest private valuation of $965 billion, ahead of a public listing expected this year that could value the AI firm at up to $2 trillion. Early investor Eric Schmidt's roughly 1% stake is estimated at nearly $10 billion, while Iconiq's $6 billion investment is now valued at $17 billion, Menlo Ventures' stake at $14 billion, and Spark Capital's $75 million Series C investment has grown to about $7 billion.
