Svmuu News: Anthropic’s valuation on the secondary market has risen to $1.2 trillion, an increase of approximately 550% compared to the same period last year. “Anthropic is the most sought-after company in the history of the venture capital secondary market,” said Javier Avalos, CEO of secondary trading platform Caplight, where Anthropic shares are trading at a valuation of $1.2 trillion. Glenn Anderson, CEO of Rainmaker Securities—a commercial bank specializing in private securities trading—also noted that he has observed transactions at a $1.2 trillion valuation, but such deals remain extremely rare due to the scarcity of sellers.
Less than three months ago, reports indicated that Anthropic’s valuation had reached $1 trillion, surpassing OpenAI for the first time. OpenAI’s valuation has consistently been far higher than Anthropic’s in recent years, but its current valuation on the Caplight platform stands at just $908 billion. According to Avalos, Anthropic’s $1.2 trillion valuation represents a year-over-year increase of as much as 550%. In its Series H funding round announced in May, the company’s valuation stood at $965 billion. (Business Insider)
