Nvidia in talks over $10B Anthropic IPO investment, Reuters says
Anthropic and Nvidia in reported IPO talks
Chipmaker Nvidia is in talks with artificial intelligence company Anthropic about a possible $10 billion investment in Anthropic’s initial public offering (IPO), Reuters reported on Saturday. Reuters cited unnamed people familiar with the matter. An IPO is the first time a company sells shares to the public.
Key numbers in the reported IPO
- Nvidia is considering investing $10 billion.
- Anthropic is seeking to raise as much as $100 billion.
- The offering could value Anthropic at about $2 trillion.
- Reuters described the possible listing as potentially the biggest IPO in history.
Companies have not confirmed the talks
Reuters said Anthropic declined to comment and Nvidia had not yet responded to a request for comment. Because the details come from unnamed sources, the investment amount, IPO size and valuation are not confirmed.
Reuters also said the discussion is ongoing and could change.
Why the investment would matter
Reuters said an investment by Nvidia could give Anthropic an early strategic backer in the offering. It could also strengthen ties between the chipmaker and an important customer.
