According to BeInCrypto, Anthropic has pledged roughly 5 percent of its shares—valued at about $48 billion—weeks before the company’s initial public offering. The pledge is intended to provide liquidity and signal confidence ahead of the market debut.
Buyers remain uncertain about several aspects related to the pledge, including how the pledged amount will affect share pricing, dilution for existing shareholders, and regulatory considerations surrounding early commitments before the IPO date.
