Anthropic Investors Can't Buy Stock Directly Before IPO
Investors interested in Anthropic before its IPO have limited options, as shares will not be easily accessible to retail investors until it lists on a public exchange.
According to The Motley Fool, a survey of investors found that 70% of respondents are considering buying either the OpenAI or the Anthropic IPO, or both.
For most investors, the best way to gain exposure to Anthropic is to buy stock in publicly traded companies that already have equity stakes in it. Amazon has invested $13 billion in Anthropic and has committed up to $20 billion more contingent upon operational milestones. Alphabet structured a similar ownership position through equity and contracts with Google Cloud.
Other public proxies include Microsoft, Nvidia, Zoom, and Salesforce, which invested in Anthropic's Series G funding round back in May.
