Nvidia is in talks to invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic, potentially becoming a cornerstone investor for the company's upcoming IPO. Anthropic aims to raise $100 billion at a valuation of approximately $2 trillion. If realized, this would mark the largest public offering in history, surpassing the $75 billion raised by SpaceX in June at a valuation of $1.77 trillion.
Anthropic reported quarterly revenue exceeding $11.5 billion in August, representing a 14-fold increase year-over-year. Nvidia already serves as a key hardware supplier and has previously committed to providing up to $10 billion in support. Both companies have yet to officially comment on the potential investment deal, which is expected to materialize around September.
Simultaneously, Nvidia has joined the latest funding round for the French firm Mistral, which closed on September 8 at €3 billion with a valuation exceeding €21 billion. This deal stands as the largest investment round for a European tech company. Mistral previously secured $830 million in bank financing to purchase 13,800 Nvidia chips for its data center operations in France.
