3 Ways to Invest in Anthropic Before Its Highly Anticipated IPO

Anthropic is expected to be one of the most talked-about IPO stocks this year. After SpaceX reached a $2 trillion valuation, investors are wondering what's possible for Anthropic. However, instead of waiting for its shares to become publicly available, investors can gain exposure to the leading AI company through three creative routes.

The first way is to invest in companies that have stakes in Anthropic. Tech giants like Alphabet (GOOG +1.53%), Amazon (AMZN +1.94%), and Salesforce (CRM +1.94%) have already invested in Anthropic, with their stakes influencing the company's earnings results.

However, this strategy offers limited exposure to Anthropic and isn't the same as owning shares directly. Investors should assess the main company before following this strategy, considering catalysts and risks that go beyond their Anthropic stakes.

The second way is to open a brokerage account with the right company. Some brokerage accounts allow investors to buy shares of IPO companies just before their IPO dates. This worked for SpaceX, and it's likely to happen again for Anthropic shares. However, this comes with requirements such as minimum balance or purchase amounts.

The third way is to follow Anthropic's money. The company has committed over $100 billion to Amazon Web Services and has been aggressively buying AI chips. As Anthropic's revenue grows, more capital will flow into key AI infrastructure and components, benefiting companies like TeraWulf (WULF +3.72%).
