Backpack’s Plans to Offer Tokenized Anthropic Shares on Solana Could Not Be Verified

Key Facts

1Anthropic said it would list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT.
2Anthropic’s revenue exceeded $16 billion in the first half of 2026, equal to 14 times the figure for the same period in 2025.
3Anthropic’s net loss was $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, including a $72.4 billion one-time accounting charge, compared with $13 billion in the same period of 2025.
4Backpack said the traditional BlackRock token could be converted at a 1:1 ratio through Backpack Exchange.

A review of the report published on November 12 could not verify that Backpack Securities plans to issue a token representing Anthropic shares or make it available for trading on the Solana network. The Tokenpost page cited in the news brief could not be opened, and no confirmation was available from Backpack or a reliable, accessible news source. It therefore remains unconfirmed whether the proposed token would give holders actual shares or an economic right linked to them. The issuance and redemption mechanisms and timing of availability were also unconfirmed. Details about round-the-clock trading, access after Anthropic’s listing, geographic and regulatory restrictions, and trading and custody fees remain unverified.

What the Associated Press reported, citing a company regulatory disclosure, is that Anthropic said it would list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. This places the anticipated listing on a specific exchange and gives it a disclosed ticker, but does not by itself establish an agreement with Backpack to issue a parallel token. Based on the available information, the disclosure also does not specify a date that could be tied to the launch of a tokenized asset. A traditional-market share listing remains separate from any digital product another entity might offer. Accordingly, the confirmed information on this point is limited to the market and ticker announced by the company.

Figures cited by the Associated Press point to rapid growth in Anthropic’s business: its revenue exceeded $16 billion in the first half of 2026. The report said this was 14 times the revenue for the same period in 2025. The comparison shows the expansion in revenue over a year, as the company prepares to list its shares, according to its regulatory disclosure. But it does not determine the company’s valuation at listing or the share’s performance, and the evidence included no valuation figure or expected price. Nor does this financial data link revenue growth to any plan to issue a token on Solana.

By contrast, the company recorded a net loss of $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, according to the Associated Press. The loss included a one-time accounting charge of $72.4 billion related to financing agreements, according to the disclosure cited in the report. In the same period of 2025, the loss was $13 billion. Including this item means the total loss figure should be read with the effect of the exceptional charge in mind, while the year-over-year comparison remains clear in the published figures. The evidence provides no further detail on the company’s profitability or financial outlook.

Backpack has previously described tokenized securities products, but that does not establish that Anthropic is among them. On October 3, 2026, the company announced the launch of a token linked to BlackRock shares on Solana, saying the traditional token could be converted at a 1:1 ratio through Backpack Exchange. Backpack also describes its product as enabling tokenized securities to move on-chain around the clock, providing access through wallets and decentralized finance applications, and converting into traditional securities entitlements through deposits and withdrawals. The company said initial issuances on Solana are made in partnership with Sunrise, with liquidity provided on the network. This information describes the features of an existing product, according to Backpack, but does not confirm the launch or terms of an ANT token.

OpenWorld offers another example of the tokenized listed-share model: in a statement published on Nasdaq, it said its exchange-listed stock had become available as a token through Solana, issued by Backpack Securities and launched through Sunrise. The company said round-the-clock trading, continuous settlement, and self-custody were available to eligible investors. Its statement also warned that tokenized securities carry risks, including total loss and counterparty, technology, liquidity, tracking, and redemption risks, and that restrictions may apply to U.S. persons and other holders. These terms illustrate the importance of checking investor eligibility, the token’s redemption mechanism, and liquidity risks before dealing in any similar product; no terms specific to an Anthropic token were available.

Pending reliable confirmation, the next disclosed step for Anthropic remains the listing of its shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT, as reported by the Associated Press citing a company disclosure. The available information included no specific listing date or announcement from Backpack that it would issue an ANT token. It also did not confirm investor eligibility, fees, or the custody and redemption methods for such a token. Any continuous trading of Anthropic shares on the Solana network remains unverified until an announcement that can be confirmed is issued.
