[Bloomberg: Anthropic IPO Could Bring Commonwealth Bank of Australia Over A$1 Billion in Paper Profits] BlockBeats reported on October 27th, citing Bloomberg, that the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) may profit from Anthropic's initial public offering (IPO). The bank participated in Anthropic's Series E funding round in March 2025, valuing its stake at A$153 million (approximately US$107.5 million) as of June 30, 2025. By the end of June 2026, with Anthropic's valuation rising to US$965 billion, CBA's stake would be valued at A$1.53 billion, approximately tenfold. However, this valuation increase is currently only a paper profit, and whether it can be realized through the IPO depends on the listing process and related transaction arrangements. [Original Link]
