AI Developer Anthropic Eyes Nasdaq IPO: What Does It Mean for My Wallet?

A single document sent the KOSPI soaring.
On October 27, the day after Anthropic filed its application for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the KOSPI jumped more than 4 percent during the session.

Anthropic, the creator of the AI model Claude, saw its revenue for the first half of this year surge about 14-fold compared to the same period last year, and it posted an operating profit for the first time in the second quarter.

However, its future financial obligations remain a heavy burden.
The New York Times reported that when combining data center lease costs and cloud computing contracts, expenses could reach up to 807 billion dollars.

It is known that Anthropic is aiming for a valuation of up to 2 trillion dollars through this initial public offering.
Attention is focused on whether it will surpass the 1.77 trillion dollar company valuation recorded by SpaceX when it went public last June.

As Anthropic pushes for an IPO ahead of OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT,
what kind of changes will it bring to our society, economy, and personal wallets?
