What some of Anthropic’s backers are reportedly worth before its IPO
Overview
Bloomberg figures put several Anthropic investors’ stakes in the billions at the company’s latest private valuation of $965 billion. The report also discusses a prospective listing this year and estimates reaching as much as $2 trillion; these are expectations, not a completed public-market valuation.
Key facts
- Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns about 1% after investing in the 2021 Series A, then valued at $461 million.
- Sequoia invested $3 billion earlier this year for about 1% at a $380 billion value whose estimated paper value has more than doubled.
- Sound Ventures added $400 million after a $35 million 2023 Series C bet, and Menlo has invested more than $1 billion over time.
Key figures
- $965 billion — latest private market valuation used to price the stakes
- as much as $2 trillion — upper expected valuation for a public listing this year
- nearly $10 billion — Eric Schmidt stake at the current private valuation
- $17 billion — estimated paper value of Iconiq’s $6 billion investment at $183 billion
- $14 billion — Menlo Ventures stake at the latest private price
- $7 billion — Spark stake after growing more than ninetyfold from 2023
Context

What remains uncertain
Stake values are private-market estimates, not realized proceeds. IPO timing and valuation remain prospective, and ownership values may change.
