  • Crypto Market Bets Anthropic Will Surpass $1 Trillion Valuation Pre-IPO
    May 25, 2026, 7:17 AM EDT. Anthropic, a private AI company, is forecasted by crypto prediction markets to exceed a $1 trillion pre-IPO valuation by year-end. Current betting odds show a 95% chance of surpassing $1.1 trillion and 78% for topping $1.5 trillion. Over $830,000 has been wagered on this outcome. The surge in confidence follows reports that Anthropic aims to raise more than $30 billion in funding, valuing the company above $900 billion, a sharp increase from $380 billion in February. This places Anthropic on track to rival major tech firms like AMD, SK Hynix, and Micron even before entering public markets. The prediction market uses Nasdaq Private Market data to determine valuation outcomes.
