After formally submitting its application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list in the United States, AI unicorn Anthropic is preparing a capital markets event that has drawn global attention. It is reported that the company plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ANT," and the overall size of this IPO is expected to set a global record.
To allow more ordinary investors to take part, Anthropic is said to be allocating a substantial proportion of the total issuance to retail investors worldwide. In the European market, Anthropic is deepening its cooperation with the UK specialist investment platform RetailBook. Under the arrangement, the company plans to offer UK retail investors a direct opportunity to subscribe for shares during the listing, and to extend this inclusive channel further to some continental European markets.
In terms of the specific operational path, this offering to UK retail investors is expected to follow the successful precedent of SpaceX's previous overseas listing, using the UK's "Public Offer Platform" (POP) regulatory framework, with RetailBook coordinating and pooling orders from various parties, thereby making it easier for individual investors to participate in the growth dividends of a frontier technology giant. However, the plan is still being actively advanced and negotiated, and the final implementation details and allocation ratio may still be adjusted based on market feedback.
