Bloomberg has reported that banks are rejecting buy orders from investors in mainland China and Hong Kong for Anthropic’s upcoming IPO. The decision stems from U.S. export control regulations, specifically the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restrict access to certain technologies.
This move mirrors previous restrictions imposed during SpaceX’s IPO, highlighting the ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting technology investments. Notably, Anthropic’s products are not available in either China or Hong Kong, further complicating the situation for potential investors from these regions.
