Anthropic's valuation in the secondary market has risen to $1.2 trillion
Odaily Planet Daily News: Anthropic's valuation in the secondary market has risen to $1.2 trillion, an increase of about 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; on the platform, Anthropic's 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 stated that he has observed transactions at a $1.2 trillion valuation, but such transactions remain very 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 long been much higher than Anthropic's, but it is currently valued at only $908 billion on the Caplight platform. According to Avalos, Anthropic's $1.2 trillion valuation represents a year-over-year increase of 550%. The company's valuation was still $965 billion during its Series H funding round announced in May. (Business Insider)
