Anthropic Pre-Market Price 33% Above Pricing Range; Largest Short Position Keeps Adding

深潮 TechFlow reported on November 12 that, according to a post by on-chain analyst Ember, after Anthropic set a price range of $70 to $78 per share (corresponding to a market cap of $1.26 trillion to $1.405 trillion), the largest Anthropic short position on Hyperliquid continued to add to its short exposure. The short position is now valued at $70.5 million, with unrealized profit of about $1.41 million.

Currently, Hyperliquid pre-market contracts for ANT are priced at about $104, roughly 33% above the upper end of the offering range at $78. Ember also provided two addresses suspected to be related to the short position (0xecc8…, 0x0b42…).

For background, Anthropic plans to issue 825 million shares at $70 to $78 per share, implying a fundraising size of about $64 billion at the upper end. The company previously said it expects to set the offering price next Wednesday and begin trading next Thursday, and the IPO has already been several times oversubscribed. Pre-market prices are significantly above the offering range; if the final price is set at the upper end, the short position's mark-to-market pressure will continue to build.
