Today’s AI news centers on the Anthropic IPO facing reported restrictions on institutional investors based in mainland China and Hong Kong.
Bloomberg reported that several banks refused orders or considered allocations unlikely. Some prospective investors continued exploring ways to participate in the planned Nasdaq offering.
The restrictions emerged as traders assessed the company’s potential valuation before its debut.

Some of Bloomberg’s AI news sources linked the reported constraints to U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Those rules control trade in defense-related products. The people requested anonymity because the information was not public.
Separately, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-11-13/anthropic-ipo-share-orders-from-china-are-said-to-be-rebuffed" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bloomberg reported</a> that orders for the Anthropic IPO reached roughly six times the shares available. Bankers told prospective investors that existing backers would receive priority in the allocation process.
As a result, some subscribers could receive fewer shares than requested. Reuters said Anthropic did not immediately comment on the demand report.
The reports come amid U.S.-China competition over artificial intelligence and advanced chip technology. Both Washington and Beijing view artificial intelligence as a strategic industry. In recent AI news, Nvidia, one of Anthropic’s strategic partners, announced <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/11/12/nvda-stock-falls-nearly-10-as-jensen-huang-resigns-as-nvidia-ceo/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jensen Huang’s resignation</a> as CEO on November 12.
The former Nvidia chief had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at customer Megaspeed. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence believed she was recruited to gather information about him.
People briefed on the intelligence also described an alleged effort to influence Nvidia’s position on chip exports to China.
However, Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department had not concluded whether she was a spy. China denied the allegations, Reuters reported.

On the downside, odds of the valuation hitting $800 billion or below stood at 7%. Contracts put chances at 3% for $700 billion or below and 2% for $600 billion or below.
Trading volume reached approximately $1.17 million for the $2 trillion contract. The $1.75 trillion contract recorded about $1.16 million.

Before those terms, Bloomberg reported on November 6 that some investors discussed a $1.2 trillion to $1.3 trillion valuation. The discussions came during a U.S. technology stock selloff, The <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/11/13/anthropic-ipo-lockups-could-trigger-ai-selloff-after-1-4t-debut/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coin Republic reported</a>. Some investors had previously discussed valuations reaching $2 trillion. Anthropic’s May fundraising valued the company at $965 billion.
The company reported $33.2 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026. Its operating loss narrowed to $1.3 billion, from $5.2 billion in the same period of 2025.

In earlier AI news, the Anthropic IPO filing proposes 825 million shares at $70 to $78 apiece. The company plans to sell shares alongside existing shareholders and list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.
Fortune reported that <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/11/13/anthropic-ipo-lockups-could-trigger-ai-selloff-after-1-4t-debut/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the offering could raise $64.4 billion</a> at the upper end.
