History

Historical Context

In August 2004 Google listed on NASDAQ, selling 19.6 million shares at $85 each, raising $1.67 billion and valuing the firm at over $23 billion, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs as underwriters. Anthropic’s planned 2026 IPO, targeting a $2 trillion valuation and a $518 billion cloud pledge, echoes Google’s scale-up model while stretching the financial horizon, prompting investors to reassess risk for AI-driven unicorns.
