Institutional-investor demand for Anthropic's upcoming IPO has outpaced early orders for SpaceX, with the book closing six times oversubscribed by the end of Thursday. The $64 billion offering is drawing heavy participation despite investor questions over the company's long-term artificial intelligence lead. The robust early interest highlights high appetite for large-scale technology debuts even as buyers debate future growth trajectories.
