Cryptocurrency punters are overwhelmingly betting that privately held AI company Anthropic will exceed a $1 trillion pre-IPO valuation by year-end.

The probability of Anthropic surpassing $1.1 trillion stands at 95%, while the odds of it topping $1.5 trillion have surged to 78% as of this writing.

Over $830,000 has been wagered on the bet, and the market will resolve to “Yes” if Anthropic’s private market valuation, as measured by the NPM Price reported by Nasdaq Private Market.

As of now, Polymarket estimates Anthropic’s private valuation at over $975 billion.

The spike in odds coincided with reports that Anthropic is set to raise over $30 billion in a new funding round that will value the company above $900 billion—more than double its $380 billion valuation in February.
