The race for shares in Anthropic, a leading AI research company, has intensified recently. Storm Duncan, a tech banker, is offering his $4.8 million estate in Marin County as a trade for stock in the company. Duncan, founder of Ignatious, a tech investment bank, explained the offer in an interview, saying he wanted to attract potential sellers of Anthropic shares, which are highly sought after.
The company’s valuation has skyrocketed to $1 trillion, driven by impressive revenue growth and interest in its AI coding assistant, Claude Code. Duncan, who primarily resides in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, believes his property is appealing to Anthropic employees, given its proximity to the company’s San Francisco offices.
The 13-acre estate boasts stunning views, an infinity pool, and a spa, making it attractive for those in the tech field. Since listing the property, Duncan has received several offers, some from Anthropic employees looking to cash in on their shares.
While some commentators have dismissed Duncan’s offer as a publicity stunt, he maintains it is genuine. He argues that smaller investors like him cannot easily purchase shares directly from Anthropic, as the company prefers larger investors.
Duncan has existing shares from a funding round in 2024 and hopes to expand his holdings after witnessing positive results from implementing Claude Code in his firm.
