Public pensions in four US states hold indirect Anthropic stakes through Spark Capital

Public pension plans in Orange County, Los Angeles, Massachusetts and South Carolina are indirect Anthropic shareholders through their holdings in Spark Capital, according to a report by The Information, as relayed by Rohan Paul on X. The report says Spark's stake in Anthropic is about $777 million.

It says that stake could grow to $9 billion or more if Anthropic's November IPO holds near a $1.5 trillion valuation. The source material for this report is limited, and no further details on the IPO or the pensions' individual holdings are given.
