Anthropic's nearly $70 billion IPO plan was briefly disclosed to various banks and then withdrawn.

Emails seen by the media show that details of Anthropic's highly anticipated IPOincluding the AI company's plan to raise nearly $70 billionwere briefly distributed to banks and then withdrawn on Monday evening. A representative for Anthropic sent a copy of a securities filing showing that the company planned to sell approximately 867 million shares at a price range of $70 to $80 per share, and then sent another email saying the pricing details were incorrect. In the second email, Anthropic said the filing would be updated later. Anthropic declined to comment. The email did not clearly specify to the investment banks where the error was, and the media outlet was also unable to determine the specific nature of the error. The original email that was withdrawn showed that Anthropic planned to sell 866.7 million Class A shares, including a secondary offering. Anthropic itself would sell approximately 843.3 million shares, while existing shareholders would sell an additional 23.3 million shares. At the upper end of the price range, the IPO would raise $69.3 billion.
