BlockBeats News, April 9th, according to Bloomberg, informed sources revealed that Anthropic employees have sold part of their equity to investors, completing a secondary equity sale that began earlier this year. However, due to the limited number of shares that employees were willing to sell, some investors were unable to acquire as many shares as planned. Sources said that the price of this tender offer is the same as the company's latest funding round valuation in February this year. With this latest transaction, the company is valued at $350 billion.
The total amount of this share sale is not yet known, but some sources have indicated that it is less than the $6 billion raised by investors. Anthropic employees are hoping to retain more shares before the upcoming initial public offering (IPO) that Anthropic is expected to conduct later this year.
One source stated that this lower-than-expected transaction indicates that as the company's annualized revenue rises, employees are optimistic about the company's future. Last month, the company's annualized revenue exceeded $19 billion. By April, Anthropic announced that its annualized operating revenue has surpassed $30 billion.
