Anthropic aims to raise up to $64.4 billion in an upcoming IPO, relying on passive index flows that mirror SpaceX's market debut. The Claude creator is valued at up to $1.4 trillion as major index providers rewrite inclusion rules for mega-listings. Investors are tracking these mechanics to position for early price momentum driven by forced institutional buying.
