- Anthropic is in talks with Nvidia for a potential $10 billion investment in what may be the biggest IPO in history, seeking to raise as much as $100 billion at a roughly $2 trillion valuation, Reuters reported
- Nvidia would serve as an early strategic backer for the offering and strengthen ties between the chipmaker and one of its key AI customers
- Discussions remain ongoing and subject to change, with Anthropic declining to comment and Nvidia not yet responding to Reuters' request for comment
- Nvidia separately agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, gaining a platform serving more than 18 million developers and hosting over three million models, per CEO Jensen Huang
- Riot Platforms secured a 20-year, roughly $9 billion agreement to supply 191 megawatts from its Rockdale, Texas campus to a "leading frontier AI" company identified as Anthropic
Why it matters: A $10 billion Nvidia stake would deepen ties between the chipmaker and a key AI customer while handing Anthropic a marquee backer for its offering. If the targeted $100 billion raise and $2 trillion valuation materialize, the deal would eclipse prior tech IPO records by a wide margin.
