ETF providers are moving to launch funds that give investors a stake in Anthropic, the privately held artificial intelligence company, despite there being no public shares to buy, according to Bloomberg Markets.
The push mirrors a strategy already used with SpaceX, where issuers built investment products designed to capture value from a high-profile private company ahead of any formal stock market debut. Bloomberg reports that money is already moving into these Anthropic-linked ETFs as demand grows among traders eager for exposure to the AI boom.
Because Anthropic remains private, these funds typically rely on indirect methods to track the company's value rather than holding shares traded on a public exchange. The trend highlights how intense investor appetite for artificial intelligence companies is reshaping how Wall Street packages access to firms that haven't gone public.
