According to reports, Anthropic is considering allowing existing shareholders to sell a portion of their shares in the IPO while also exploring a lock-up period longer than 180 days. This aims to meet some liquidity needs of early investors and employees, while controlling the supply and price volatility of shares after the listing. The company plans to publicly disclose its prospectus after the US Labor Day on September 7, and hold an Investor Day in mid-September. Prediction markets indicate that the probability of the company completing its IPO before October has risen to 86%.
