Anthropic is targeting up to $250M in net retail buying during its market debut, setting up a record IPO on the NASDAQ. The listing could surpass SpaceX's previous record, marking one of the largest single-day retail purchases in history. Only six stocks have crossed the $250M single-day retail threshold since 2024.
