Bloomberg reported that Commonwealth Bank of Australia could benefit if Anthropic moves ahead with an initial public offering. The bank joined Anthropic’s Series E financing round in March 2025, and the value of its holding stood at A$153 million, or about $107.5 million, as of June 30, 2025. By the end of June 2026, after Anthropic’s valuation climbed to $96.5 billion, the bank’s stake was valued at A$1.53 billion, roughly 10 times higher than a year earlier. Bloomberg said the increase remains an unrealized, paper gain for now. Whether the bank can turn that gain into cash through an IPO will depend on the listing process and the structure of any related transactions.
