## Wire brief

Compiled from public reports including Quantum位: henry henry, writing from 凹非寺 — Even if it means catching a falling knife bare-handed, we're going for the big result!

On the timeline of events: frankly, at the outset, probably no one could have imagined that Company A's IPO—once the largest in history—could turn this brutal, or that Dario Amodei's head could be this hard. Just now, the IPO roadshow for Anthropic, the parent company of Claude, officially kicked off, dispelling earlier rumors of a withdrawal or postponement. As planned, Anthropic intends to issue 825 million shares at $70–78 per share, with the IPO transaction size reaching up to approximately $64.35 billion, and plans to begin trading on the same day on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.

Public information also notes: at that time, non-founder directors, executives, current and former employees and consultants may, from the first trading day, sell up to 10% of their prescribed baseline holdings, corresponding to at most about 316 million shares. In other words, on the first day of listing, Company A's early shareholders will have the opportunity to cash out $22.1–24.6 billion (around RMB 150 billion). Likewise, investors looking to buy Company A that day will face selling pressure of the same magnitude. To be honest, in the eyes of ordinary people like us, these $20-odd billion are already enough for quite a few people to settle down comfortably in the Bay Area, but measured against Company A's earlier expectations, we must say this is a severely shrunken, middling result.
