Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI models, could be the biggest IPO of the year. Based on recent reports, that IPO might happen within weeks.
The AI start-up is planning to release its IPO prospectus after Labor Day and will be targeting a public listing in late September or early October, according to a report from The Information. It's exciting news for those who have been waiting for an opportunity to invest in Anthropic, but what's most interesting is how the deal is reportedly structured.

There are a few unique wrinkles in Anthropic's rumored IPO plans. Details leaked to The Information indicate it might allow existing shareholders to sell shares as part of the IPO, and it's also weighing the idea of lockup periods longer than the standard 180 days. In addition, it may require rank-and-file employees to sell shares through preset 10b5-1 plans instead of during post-earnings windows.
All these moves would be a departure from other IPOs this year, including **** e Exploration Technologies, also known as **** eX, and Cerebras. Neither allowed existing shareholders to sell as part of the IPO, and both have tiered lockup periods in which tranches of shares hit the market periodically.
