Anthropic announced its filing on Monday, June 1, aiming to raise approximately $75 billion with a valuation near $965 billion. The company last raised $65 billion in late May and reported annualized revenue of $47 billion from selling its technology.
SpaceX set a $135 price for shares in its IPO on June 3, targeting a record-setting $75 billion raise and a valuation of $1.75 trillion. The company plans to offer exactly 555,555,555 shares at $135 apiece. Elon Musk would have 82.4% of the voting power in SpaceX after the IPO.
Anthropic's filing positions it ahead of rival OpenAI in capitalizing on investor enthusiasm for AI technologies. The rapid rise of both companies has triggered sharp sell-offs in software and IT stocks as investors worry about disruption across industries.
The IPO market shows revival after several dormant years, with analysts at Wedbush Securities describing Anthropic's filing as 'an opening of the floodgates' for the IPO market. The listing would represent one of the most consequential stock market debuts in years, potentially reshaping benchmark indexes and investor flows.
SpaceX is currently losing billions of dollars a year, with a $2.6 billion operational loss last year on $18.7 billion in revenue. Despite this, Musk's plans for the company are ambitious, including putting men on the moon again and perhaps even Mars. The IPO document details plans to use proceeds from the sale to help build 'a permanent human colony' on Mars with 'at least one million inhabitants.'
SpaceX plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol 'SPCX' and could begin trading as soon as June 12. The company is negotiating with banks underwriting its IPO to pay fees of less than 0.75% on the roughly $75 billion it aims to raise this month.
Meanwhile, Liftoff Mobile, backed by Blackstone, targets a valuation of up to $3.66 billion in its U.S. initial public offering after scrubbing an initial launch attempt. The company aims to raise up to $418 million through 19 million shares priced between $20 and $22 each.
