# Trump Floats Government Stakes in AI Firms as Anthropic Eyes $2 Trillion IPO

> Editorial content, written by CryptoResearch.

Former President Donald Trump has proposed that the U.S. government could acquire ownership stakes in major AI companies, a move that coincides with Anthropic preparing for a potential $2 trillion IPO.

Former President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. government could take ownership stakes in leading artificial intelligence firms. The proposal follows the administration's acquisition of a 10% stake in Intel.

Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI system, has confidentially filed for an IPO. The company is targeting a $2 trillion valuation, positioning itself alongside OpenAI as a benchmark for the sector.

Market participants are monitoring how these potential government stakes might influence regulatory support and investor sentiment regarding upcoming AI IPOs. Some suggest that government involvement could enhance investor confidence and lead to higher valuations for companies like Anthropic.

Observers are watching for further statements from Trump or additional government actions regarding AI company stakes. Updates on Anthropic’s IPO progress and valuation targets, as well as developments from OpenAI, remain key indicators for market expectations.
