Nvidia considers $10B investment in potential record Anthropic IPO: Reuters

Reuters reported that Nvidia has been in discussions to make roughly a $10 billion investment in Anthropic as the AI startup prepares what could be the largest IPO on record. People familiar with the confidential talks told Reuters that Anthropic is aiming to raise as much as $100 billion in the offering, which could place the company's valuation near $2 trillion. Those sources were anonymous and emphasized that the negotiations remain fluid.

According to Reuters, a sizable Nvidia stake would give Anthropic an early strategic backer for the flotation while also deepening the relationship between the chipmaker and an important customer of its hardware. The report noted that Anthropic declined to comment on the matter and that Nvidia had not replied to a request for comment.

Related reporting highlights other major commercial moves tied to Anthropic and Nvidia. Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms secured a 20-year agreement to provide 191 megawatts of capacity to a "leading frontier AI" customer identified as Anthropic, a deal Bloomberg valued at about $9 billion. Separately, Cointelegraph also reported that Nvidia agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.9 billion; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said Hugging Face serves more than 18 million developers and hosts over three million models.

Taken together, these developments illustrate how strategic investments and acquisitions are reshaping the AI landscape, with hardware vendors, model platforms and infrastructure providers increasingly overlapping. The Reuters account makes clear that the Anthropic-Nvidia talks are still private and could change as negotiations proceed.
