TechCrunch published a brief at 01:27 UTC on 10 November 2026. The byline is Marina Temkin, and the page clock is 5:27 p.m. Pacific on 9 November, which is 09:27 in Beijing on 10 November. The brief says Anthropic is moving ahead with its listing plans, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The timetable in the Journal's account is specific. Anthropic plans to set a valuation range this week and begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week. The brief does not turn those two days into calendar dates, and it does not name an exchange, a ticker, or the number of shares to be sold.
[1]The same report says some institutional investors are now pushing for a valuation below the 1.5 trillion dollar target discussed as recently as last week. That 1.5 trillion figure was itself considerably below the 2 trillion dollars floated a few months ago. The brief does not give the number those investors are asking for, and it does not say the company has accepted a lower range.
[1]The brief uses OpenAI as a comparison. It says OpenAI was reportedly valued at 1.25 trillion dollars last week after raising 11 billion dollars, short of the 20 billion dollars it had initially sought. That is the brief's account, not an announcement from OpenAI.
[1]The brief quotes neither a statement from Anthropic nor a sentence from a filing. The valuation range remains a reported plan, not a published price. An earlier column looked at investor talk from before this brief. This one does not repeat that check of the filing.
