Anthropic stock: what to know about the ANT IPO
Anthropic stock means shares in Anthropic, the San Francisco AI company behind Claude, which has filed to list its Class A shares on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. Its amended filing of 10 November 2026 set a price range of 70 to 78 US dollars per share, and pricing and the first trading day are expected around 18 to 19 November. Tokenized ANT stock is also coming soon to Waletifi's Stocks section; this guide covers the company, how the IPO works and the risks.
What is Anthropic?
Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence company founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers and headquartered in San Francisco. Dario Amodei is its CEO and Daniela Amodei its President.
Anthropic is structured as a public benefit corporation. That is a for-profit company whose charter also names a public benefit, which its directors must weigh alongside shareholders' financial interests.
Amazon and Google (Alphabet) are among its biggest backers, and Amazon's cloud is its primary cloud provider. These ties matter for the stock, because training and running AI models takes enormous amounts of cloud computing.
What is Claude, and which company makes it?
Claude is Anthropic's family of AI models and the AI assistant built on them, used for writing, analysis and programming. Key milestones and facts:
- March 2023: Claude was first released, with limited access.
- July 2023: Claude 2 made it publicly available.
- Model tiers: Haiku, Sonnet, Opus and Fable.
- Where it runs: apps on the web, desktop and mobile, plus an API that developers build into their own products.
- May 2025: Claude Code, a command-line coding agent, became generally available.
The Anthropic IPO: dates, ticker and price range
According to its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Anthropic plans to list Class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. It submitted a confidential draft on 1 June 2026 and filed its public registration statement (Form S-1) on 26 October 2026.
An amended filing on 10 November 2026 set a price range of 70 to 78 US dollars per share for 825 million Class A shares, most of them new shares sold by the company, and the roadshow began. Pricing and the first trading day are widely reported for around 18 to 19 November 2026, but the company has not confirmed this; the final price and date are set at pricing.
At that size, it would be one of the largest IPOs ever. We do not quote valuation or financial figures here, because reported numbers conflict; the S-1 itself is the place to read them.

How does an IPO work? From S-1 to the first trade
An IPO (initial public offering) is the first time a private company sells shares to the public and lists them on a stock exchange. The usual steps:
- Filing: the company publishes a registration statement (the S-1 in the US) describing its business, finances and risks.
- Roadshow: management and the underwriters, the banks that run the sale, present the company to large investors.
- Price range: an amended filing sets the expected price per share and the number of shares on offer.
- Pricing: usually the evening before trading starts, the final price is set; it can land inside, above or below the range.
- First trading day: the stock opens on the exchange, and from then on buyers and sellers set the price, not the IPO price.
- Lock-up: insiders and early investors are typically barred from selling for about six months.
How do people buy Anthropic stock after listing?
Shares sold at the IPO price mostly go to large investors through the underwriters. Most retail investors can only buy once trading begins, through a broker with access to US stock markets.
Regular US trading hours are 9:30 to 16:00 New York time on weekdays. A newly listed stock can swing sharply in its first sessions, so the price you see on day one may be far from the IPO price, in either direction.
What could move the ANT share price?
Once listed, ANT will move with what the market expects from Anthropic's future. Factors investors are likely to watch:
how NVIDIA's chips power AI data centres
- Growth in demand for Claude from businesses, developers and individual users.
- Spending on computing power and data centres, and the cost of the AI chips behind it.
- New models and products from Anthropic and from rival AI companies.
- Its partnerships with Amazon and Google, including cloud capacity.
- AI regulation and legal cases in the US, Europe and elsewhere.
- Quarterly results as a public company, interest rates and the mood towards technology and AI stocks.
Risks of Anthropic stock
Anthropic stock carries the usual risks of a new listing, plus some that are specific to AI:
- Volatility: newly listed stocks swing a lot and have little trading history to judge them by.
- Costs: training and running AI models needs heavy, ongoing spending on computing power and data centres.
- Competition: several large, well-funded companies compete in AI, and leading positions can change quickly.
- Regulation and lawsuits: rules on AI and the legal disputes around it are still taking shape.
- Partner dependence: the company relies on a few large partners for cloud computing and investment.
- Lock-up expiry: when insiders become free to sell, typically about six months after listing, extra selling pressure can follow.
- High expectations: a valuation that already assumes strong growth leaves little room for disappointment.
Fake Anthropic tokens and pre-IPO share scams
Anthropic itself has not issued any crypto token or coin. Claude coins, ANT tokens or pre-IPO Anthropic shares offered by strangers are scams; in Waletifi, stocks appear only inside the app's Stocks section.
Around a famous IPO, these offers spread through social media, messaging groups and look-alike websites. Warning signs include promised profits, pressure to pay quickly, payment only in crypto and someone you have never met offering early access.
Anthropic stock in Waletifi: coming soon
Tokenized Anthropic (ANT) stock is coming soon to Waletifi's Stocks section, bought with USDT like the other stocks there, depending on your country and app version. No date has been announced yet, and it is not available today.
Until then, the Stocks section lets you buy tokenized NVIDIA, Apple, Tesla, Alphabet (Google) and SpaceX stock with USDT: Ethereum tokens that track the stock and stay in your own wallet. Alphabet is one of Anthropic's backers, but a tokenized Alphabet share tracks Alphabet's own stock, so it is not a way into Anthropic's IPO.
A tokenized stock is not the share itself and carries no voting rights, and the issuer of the current tokens can pause transfers or block an address. Its terms exclude some countries, including Iran and Afghanistan; weigh this like the other risks. This article is not a recommendation to buy or sell, and nobody can know the price path in advance.
