Ordinary New Zealand investors will not be able to take part directly in Anthropic's planned stock market flotation, while Australians will have a dedicated route in, according to an RNZ analysis of the AI company's filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing says the document has not been registered with any New Zealand regulator, limiting the offer there to investment businesses, government agencies and large or eligible investors. In Australia, Anthropic is issuing a separate prospectus for retail investors. New Zealanders should still be able to buy the shares on Nasdaq once trading begins, if their broker offers them.
The filing gave no share price or listing date. RNZ notes, citing the Financial Times, that Anthropic's revenue for the nine months to September rose to US$33 billion from US$4.6 billion a year earlier, with a quarter coming from five customers.
