What happened
JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC began marketing a block of Anthropic shares on November 1, 2026, ahead of the company's public listing. The offering involves up to $500 million in shares and is pitched with a fee ranging from 3% to 5% on top of the initial public offering prices. This activity allows investment firms to de-risk portions of their positions or broaden their investor base.

Why it matters
The offering is part of a growing trend where deep-pocketed investors parcel out access to coveted pre-IPO shares in valuable startups. Jon Jefferies, head of private markets at JonesTrading, noted that these types of transactions are new but are proliferating in the market due to high interest from institutional investors.
