Anthropic’s reported selection of Nasdaq as its listing venue for a planned IPO—now targeted for mid-November after earlier delays—drives the overwhelming 96.1% market-implied odds. Multiple September reports from Business Insider, Bloomberg, and Reuters confirm the choice, consistent with Nasdaq’s dominance in recent large technology and AI flotations such as SpaceX. The exchange also offers eligibility for the Nasdaq-100 index and aligns with Anthropic’s positioning as a leading large language model developer amid competitive AI advancements. While a late switch to NYSE or another venue remains theoretically possible due to market conditions or regulatory shifts, current preparations including investor meetings and filings make such an outcome highly unlikely.
