Anthropic surpasses biggest rival OpenAI in secondary market valuation — surges to $1 trillion amid frantic investor interest

Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, has seen its valuation skyrocket to $1 trillion in the secondary market, surpassing OpenAI's $880 billion valuation. This surge reflects a growing investor interest in artificial intelligence. The valuation is not based on public stock exchanges but on secondary market trades where insiders sell portions of their holdings. Anthropic's actual valuation is $380 billion, but the $1 trillion valuation in the secondary market indicates high demand. Investors are willing to pay exorbitant prices for Anthropic shares, signaling a strong interest in the company's growth potential in the AI sector.
