Gate.io news, April 9, according to Bloomberg, informed sources said that Anthropic employees have sold some equity to investors, completing a secondary equity offering that began earlier this year. However, because the number of shares employees were willing to sell was limited, some investors were unable to receive as many shares as planned. Informed sources said the price in the tender offer was the same as the company’s most recent round of financing valuation this February. Based on its latest transactions, the company is valued at $350 billion.

The total amount from this sale of shares is not yet known, but some people said the figure was less than the $6 billion that investors raised. Anthropic employees hope to retain more shares before the company’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO), which is expected to take place as early as this year.

One person said this below-expected deal suggests that as the company’s annualized revenue rises, employees are optimistic about the company’s prospects. Last month, the company’s annualized revenue exceeded $19 billion. By April, Anthropic announced that its annualized run-rate revenue had surpassed $30 billion.
