Can Australian investors buy shares from the IPO?

Anthropic's IPO, much like the SpaceX IPO, has an allocation of shares for Australian retail investors. This means investors can register with a local broker participating in the IPO and buy shares at the IPO price.

Anthropic says only these brokers are authorised to take Australian applications:

  • CommSec (lead broker)
  • Bell Potter
  • LGT Wealth
  • Macquarie
  • Morgans
  • Morgan Stanley Wealth Management
  • Sharesies
  • Stake

You'll need to register with one of these brokers by 5pm on 17 November 2026 and be approved before you can buy shares.

The number of shares you'll actually get depends on factors like demand and the number of applicants.

Key dates for the Anthropic IPO

  • Registration for the local Anthropic IPO opens on Wednesday 11 November.
  • Registration closes on Tuesday 17 November.
  • Anthropic is expected to start trading on the Nasdaq on 20 November 2026.

Where to buy Anthropic (ANT) shares after launch

Once Anthropic starts trading on the Nasdaq exchange you'll be able to invest via any trading platform with Nasdaq access.

  • Compare trading platforms first. When looking for a trading platform, compare US brokerage fees and FX rates, and make sure you can buy ANT on the platform.
  • Set up an account. Once you've found a trading platform, set up an account and verify your identity.
  • Deposit funds to start trading. Add funds to your account so you can start trading. Depending on the platform you may need to convert the funds to US dollars.
  • Buy ANT shares. Place your order for ANT shares. Congrats! Now you own a tiny piece of the company behind Claude.

Finder Score for share trading platforms

We've scored over 30 share trading platforms assessing them for their core features, fees, customer experience and accessibility. Our experts give each platform a score out of 10.

Read the full methodology

Once Anthropic shares start trading, you will be able to invest indirectly via an exchange-traded fund (ETF).

This gives you access to Anthropic (and other shares) without buying them directly.

ETFs that track AI, tech or Nasdaq stocks are your best bet for Anthropic exposure.

Investing via an ETF also lets you trade on the ASX.
