[Anthropic Investors Predict $2 Trillion IPO Valuation, Some Even Estimate $3 Trillion] According to monitoring by Beating, some existing investors of Anthropic have already started betting that the company could achieve a valuation of over $2 trillion as early as its IPO in October. Six investors interviewed by FT believe that the rapid growth in demand and revenue for Claude is sufficient to double Anthropic's valuation from $965 billion in May. What they value most is the revenue growth rate. In May, Anthropic announced that its annualized revenue had exceeded $47 billion, and these investors estimate it could reach $100 billion to $120 billion by the end of the year. One investor even calculated based on a 30x revenue multiplier, suggesting Anthropic could be worth $3 trillion. However, these figures are purely investors' own predictions. Several investors noted that Anthropic executives have not yet privately finalized an IPO valuation target. Risks such as competition from low-cost models in China, conflicts with the U.S. government, and companies beginning to control AI expenditures remain significant concerns. [Original Link]
