Venture-backed AI listings are regaining market attention as Anthropic moves toward a public debut after filing for an IPO in June. Secondary-market trading data points to elevated investor interest, with the company ranking among the most active private names through August 3.
Highlights
- Anthropic's composite price rose 29% in the 90 days through August 3, outperforming OpenAI and matching top private-market peers.

Secondary trading momentum before listing
As reported by MSCI, Anthropic ranks second only to OpenAI among the 10 most active private-company names in the 90 days through August 3, as investors track the AI developer's path to the public market.The report says Anthropic submitted its IPO filing to the SEC in June, setting up what is expected to be one of the most closely watched private-to-public transitions in the current market. MSCI's analysis draws on Private Company Insights data, public sources and the company to assess business performance, competitive positioning and secondary-market momentum.
Anthropic's composite price rises 29% over the period, outpacing OpenAI and matching other top-10 private names including Crusoe Energy and Kalshi. Bid and ask volumes also reach the highest levels on record for the company in the second quarter, indicating stronger trading activity ahead of the planned listing.
AI sector implications for private markets
The figures highlight continued appetite for large private AI companies in the U.S., particularly as investors look for benchmarks ahead of major public offerings. Strong secondary-market pricing and liquidity can help shape expectations for valuation and demand when a company approaches its IPO.The report also places Anthropic's trading activity in the context of the top 10 most active private-company names after SpaceX's public-market debut in mid-June. That comparison suggests Anthropic is emerging as one of the central names in the current private-market cycle for technology and AI investors.
