Jack Selby warned that Anthropic’s planned initial public offering may mark a high point in AI enthusiasm, with a market correction possible after restrictions on insider share sales expire.

Anthropic’s Oct. 26 Form S-1 proposed listing Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under ANT. The filing left the number of shares and offering price blank, and the public listing remains proposed.

Selby tied the potential market impact to insider lockups, which restrict when early shareholders can sell after a listing. The S-1 proposes the Nasdaq listing, but does not give an offering price or share count.
