Banker Lists £4.8 Million California Home for Anthropic Shares

By aimee yang

Storm Duncan, a tech banker, wants to buy shares in a company called Anthropic. He is now offering his $4.8 million house in Marin County as part of this deal. This shows how much people want to invest in Anthropic, which is valued at $1 trillion because of its successful AI product, Claude Code.

Duncan lives mainly in Wyoming but is selling this particular estate because he believes it will appeal to Anthropic workers. The property has beautiful views of San Francisco, an infinity-edge pool, and a spa. Duncan thinks it will attract people from Anthropic because it is only a 20-minute drive to their office. He hopes this offer will connect him with those who can sell him valuable shares.

Since advertising his property, Duncan has received several offers from people wanting to sell their shares. He thinks these sellers are serious, but the process can be complicated. He explained that many high-income earners in San Francisco cannot access their wealth because their shares are not easy to sell. Duncan is trying to buy these shares as he believes they will gain more value over time.
