It has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ANT." The Nasdaq Composite closed Tuesday at 25,065.88, down 187.26 points, or 0.74%. The prospectus names several public chip, memory, cloud and data companies as partners, investors or both. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW), Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TWSE: 2330) (NYSE: TSM), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD).

The offering and the placement

According to the roadshow announcement, the proposed offering consists of 825,000,000 shares, of which 801,351,354 are being offered by Anthropic and 23,648,646 by certain existing stockholders, and the registration statement has not yet become effective.

The amended S-1 also describes a concurrent private placement in which seven companies have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase an aggregate of $26.0 billion of Class N common stock at the initial public offering price. The placement is contingent upon the completion of the offering and the satisfaction of certain conditions. Three of the five companies below are among the placement investors. Amazon holds convertible notes, and Snowflake is named among the data platforms through which customers can adopt Claude.

How to read the cards

Each card has the same four lines, then one executive comment from the company's own release. The cards are a side-by-side, not a ranking, and no winner is declared.

Layer of the build: Cloud capacity and in-house chips. The prospectus lists AWS Trainium among the chip families Anthropic uses to train and serve Claude.

"Our AWS investment in functionality and infrastructure is working, with over 39% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 ($184 billion revenue run rate) and projected revenue growth rates of over 40% both in 2027 and in 2028," said Andy Jassy, President and CEO, Amazon.

Layer of the build: Data center GPUs and CPUs, sold under the AMD Instinct and AMD EPYC names.

In the prospectus: In July 2026, Anthropic entered into a hardware supply agreement with AMD for AMD-based Helios rack-scale systems. Under it, AMD committed to purchase up to $5.0 billion of Class N common stock, which Anthropic can draw on in increments after specified GPU delivery and deployment milestones, and upon the closing of the placement, its $2.5 billion placement purchase will satisfy a portion of that commitment.

Reading the cards

Side by side, the cards show the different ways a company can appear in one prospectus: Amazon through its cloud, chips and notes; AMD through a supply agreement as well as the placement; Micron and TSMC through the placement and the prospectus's discussion of memory and chip manufacturing; and Snowflake through the prospectus's discussion of ecosystem partnerships.
