Anthropic Plans Japanese Share Sale Alongside US IPO
TechNews, citing Anthropic’s filing and Reuters, reports that Anthropic plans to offer shares to Japanese investors worth up to ¥552.9 billion alongside its planned US IPO. The proceeds are earmarked for working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. The filing did not disclose the IPO’s overall size or valuation; an approximately $1.5 trillion figure was an investor expectation previously reported by Reuters.
The filing provides details about a proposed financing component of Anthropic’s US IPO and the intended uses of the proceeds, while leaving the overall IPO size and valuation undisclosed.
今天公布的申報文件顯示，人工智慧（AI）公司 Anthropic 在美國首次公開發行（IPO）之際，將同步在日本出售最多達 5,529 億日圓（約新台幣 1,144 億元）的股份。
路透社引述這份文件指出，向日本投資人發行新股所募得的資金，將用於充實營運資金，並支應營運費用和資本支出。
這份文件並未說明Anthropic這次IPO的整體規模或估值，但據路透社先前報導，部分投資人曾開出約1.5兆美元（約新台幣49兆元）的估值預期。
