Anthropic Employees 'Hold Back' on Selling Shares, Investors Queue Up Unable to Buy

Anthropic recently completed a tender offer for employee shares at a pre-money valuation of $350 billion, matching its February Series G round. Despite investors offering $5-6 billion to purchase shares, the transaction fell short of its maximum target because a majority of employees chose not to sell. Key reasons for the low supply include: rapid revenue growth (annualized revenue surged from $9B in late 2025 to an estimated $30B by March 2026), expectations of a potential IPO as early as October 2024 at a valuation between $400-500 billion, and high capital gains taxes in California. Employees preferred holding shares for higher future gains post-IPO. This follows a similar trend at OpenAI, where only two-thirds of approved shares were sold in a previous tender offer. For late-stage unicorns like Anthropic, tender offers serve as a liquidity tool for employees and a retention strategy amid intense AI talent competition. The undersubscribed tender indicates strong internal confidence and creates supply scarcity in secondary markets, where implied valuations exceed $500 billion. This may signal strong investor appetite and support a higher IPO valuation, though macroeconomic risks and potential SEC scrutiny over revenue recognition methods remain considerations.

Why Doesn't Stripe, Valued at $160 Billion, Go Public?

Stripe, valued at $159 billion, and Plaid, valued at $8 billion, recently conducted tender offers, reflecting a structural shift in how companies access capital and provide liquidity. Instead of pursuing traditional IPOs, many high-value private companies are opting for secondary transactions. This trend is fueled by a booming private market, where assets have more than doubled to $22 trillion over 12 years, and companies now wait an average of 16 years to go public. New infrastructure layers like Forge and EquityZen facilitate these trades, while platforms like Robinhood’s Ventures Fund I are opening private market access to retail investors. However, risks include structural complexity, valuation opacity, and regulatory challenges. Despite a 2025 rebound in IPOs, many companies may continue favoring private liquidity due to abundant capital and fewer constraints.

Why Doesn't Stripe, Valued at $160 Billion, Go Public?

Stripe, valued at $159 billion, and Plaid, valued at $8 billion, recently conducted tender offers, reflecting a structural shift in how companies access capital and provide liquidity. This trend allows firms to bypass traditional IPOs, avoiding dilution and regulatory burdens. The private secondary market reached $240 billion in 2025, surpassing global IPO proceeds. Companies now wait an average of 16 years to go public, and private market assets have doubled to $22 trillion over 12 years. New infrastructure layers like Forge and EquityZen facilitate secondary trading, while platforms like Robinhood’s Ventures Fund I are opening private markets to retail investors. However, risks include structural complexity, valuation opacity, and counterparty risks. Despite a 2025 IPO rebound, many companies trade below their offering prices, making tender offers an attractive alternative amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.
