Anthropic Surges to $1 Trillion Valuation on Secondary Markets
Original: Anthropic has surged to a trillion-dollar valuation on secondary markets, overtaking OpenAI.
Why This Matters
Shows dramatic shift in AI market sentiment favoring Anthropic over OpenAI
Anthropic's valuation has reached $1 trillion on secondary markets like Forge Global, surpassing OpenAI's $880 billion secondary market price despite OpenAI's higher official funding round valuation of $852 billion.
Anthropic's secondary market valuation has skyrocketed to approximately $1 trillion on Forge Global, overtaking OpenAI which trades at $880 billion on the platform. This represents a dramatic increase from Anthropic's $380 billion funding round just three months ago led by GIC and Coatue. Desperate buyers are competing for dwindling Anthropic shares, with one shareholder offering shares at $1.15 trillion valuation and a growth fund bidding at $1.05 trillion. Some buyers have even offered to trade homes for shares. Meanwhile, traders report declining demand for OpenAI shares despite its higher official valuation. Since both companies remain private, investors must purchase through secondary markets from employees or early investors.
