Anthropic PBC is planning a UK share offering through RetailBook as part of its massive initial public offering, sources say. The AI startup filed for a New York IPO that could become the world's largest ever. Anthropic will follow Elon Musk's Space X in using Britain's "public offer platform" to bypass the need for a traditional UK prospectus.
Retail Book, licensed as a POP operator, will coordinate the stock sale, with other investment platforms feeding orders. In June, Space X sold $364 million worth of stock to UK retail investors through this framework, paving the way for other companies. Anthropic plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol 'ANT'.
The company has tapped JPMorgan Chase & Co. to lead the US retail share sale and is considering making 15% to 20% of IPO shares available to retail investors worldwide.
