Anthropic Files for Nasdaq IPO Under Ticker ANT Targeting Up to $1.75 Trillion Valuation

Anthropic has formally filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT, targeting a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion in what would be AI's largest public listing to date. The IPO has direct relevance for African AI infrastructure deals, including the Cassava Technologies distribution agreement reported on 28 October, given Africa-based operators' dependency on frontier model access from the newly public entity.
