Data: Anthropic's pre-market price is 33% higher than the pricing range, and the largest short seller continues to increase positions

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, after Anthropic determined a pricing range of $70 to $78 per share (corresponding to a market capitalization of $1.26 trillion to $1.405 trillion), the largest short position on Hyperliquid for Anthropic continues to increase, with the short position value reaching $70.5 million and an unrealized profit of approximately $1.41 million.

Currently, the pre-market contracts for ANT on Hyperliquid are priced at about $104, which is approximately 33% higher than the upper limit of the issuance range of $78. Yu Jin also provided two addresses suspected to be related to this short position (0xecc8..., 0x0b42...).

In terms of background, Anthropic plans to issue 825 million shares at a price of $70 to $78 per share, with the financing scale estimated at about $64 billion based on the upper limit; the company previously stated that it expects to finalize the issuance price next Wednesday and begin trading next Thursday, with the IPO already receiving several times oversubscription. The pre-market price is significantly higher than the issuance range, and if the final price is set at the upper limit of the range, the pressure on the short position will continue to accumulate.
