Bitget has named Anthropic as the third company to be made available via its IPO Prime platform, offering eligible users a route to participate in IPO-linked investment opportunities through a single account. The announcement comes after Anthropic filed for a public listing on Nasdaq, with market estimates valuing the company at up to $1.75 trillion.
Bitget said subscriptions will run in two rounds with different caps, fees, and settlement timelines, and that allocations will be contingent on availability and the confirmed IPO schedule.
Key takeaways
- What happened: Bitget added Anthropic to its IPO Prime platform as the third listing for eligible users.
- Price move: No direct market price changes were provided in the announcement.
- Catalyst: The move follows Anthropic’s recent Nasdaq IPO filing and amended submission.
- Structure: Subscriptions will be split into a VIP round and a Public round, both accepting USDT or USDGO.
- Implication: The platform positions tokenized access as a way to broaden participation in IPO-related allocation opportunities typically limited to institutional clients.
What Bitget announced about Anthropic
Bitget said Anthropic will be available on IPO Prime, which is designed to connect eligible users with IPO allocation opportunities through participating institutional funds and brokers. The company said subscriptions will be processed according to each round’s allocation rules, with participants either receiving a full or partial allocation or receiving refunds of unallocated funds.
Anthropic’s IPO plans were first filed on October 26, with an amended filing submitted on November 2, according to the announcement. Bitget noted that the final valuation and IPO pricing have not yet been confirmed.
How the two subscription rounds work
Bitget outlined a timeline for two separate subscription windows, both of which accept payments in USDT or USDGO.
- VIP Round: Scheduled from November 5, 2026, 08:00 to November 9, 2026, 08:00 (UTC). Bitget set a total subscription cap of $1 billion, an individual cap of $3 million, and a $100 minimum subscription. The announcement described a VIP round upfront fee of 12% and stated a historical allocation rate of 40% to 80%. Settlement is expected approximately three to five business days after the IPO.
- Public Round: Scheduled from November 10, 2026, 08:00 to a day before the IPO at 08:00 (UTC). The Public Round has a total cap of $200 million, an individual cap of $25,000, and the same $100 minimum subscription level. Bitget said the Public Round carries a 5% upfront fee. It also described trading access as targeted for the listing date, while allocations are described as less certain than in the VIP round.
Bitget said both rounds are subject to availability and the confirmed IPO timetable. Unallocated subscription amounts are expected to be refunded in accordance with the offering terms.
Settlement, tokenization, and custody mechanics
According to Bitget, after settlement, allocated underlying shares will be held through designated brokerage and custody partners. The firm said corresponding rANT tokens will be issued to eligible users.
The platform’s stated goal is to link traditional share allocation and settlement mechanics with tokenized access within Bitget’s ecosystem—allowing eligible participants to engage using their existing accounts rather than opening a separate brokerage account, as described in the announcement.
Why investors may be watching
Anthropic’s IPO process is drawing attention due to continued investor focus on artificial intelligence companies. In parallel, Bitget’s IPO Prime approach reflects a broader push by exchanges and platforms to package IPO participation in ways that are easier for retail users, who historically have had limited access to IPO allocations before shares begin public trading.
The fees and allocation uncertainty highlighted by Bitget are likely to be central to how participants weigh the two rounds. The VIP round offers higher described allocation likelihood but comes with a higher upfront fee, while the Public round offers a lower fee and time-linked access expectations, though Bitget characterized allocations as less certain.
Bitget also said the Anthropic offering follows earlier IPO Prime initiatives connected to SpaceX and OpenAI, expanding the platform’s range of IPO-linked opportunities within what it calls its Universal Exchange model.
Investors and eligible users may want to monitor Anthropic’s next steps in its Nasdaq process, including any updates to the confirmed IPO timetable, the final offering price, and allocation terms for both rounds. Bitget’s settlement timeline and token issuance details will also be key to watch as the deal approaches the listing date.
