Binance Plans to Set Anthropic Contract Share Basis at 13.12 Times Current Estimate

Binance plans to set the share-count basis for its Anthropic Pre-IPO perpetual contract at 13,116,075,288 shares, about 13.12 times the current estimate. The change would update the estimated share count used to quote the contract.

The contract currently uses an estimated 1 billion shares. It will continue using that basis until the adjustment takes effect. Binance has not announced a date or implementation details and plans to provide them separately.

During the adjustment, Binance also plans to change the contract ticker from ANTHROPICUSDT to ANTUSDT. Existing positions will not be affected by the ticker change, and users will not need to close or settle them because of it.

The new estimate is based on Anthropic’s Nov. 10 S-1/A-2 filing. The estimated share count could be revised again if Anthropic updates relevant filings before its IPO.
