No — you cannot buy Anthropic stock. Anthropic is a privately held AI company. There is no Anthropic ticker and its shares are not traded on any public exchange.
There is no way to buy Anthropic shares directly. The closest listed exposure is through its two largest corporate investors, both of which are publicly traded — though Anthropic is a small part of either business.
Anthropic is a private company backed by corporate and venture investors, the largest disclosed of which are Amazon and Google. Employee and investor shares change hands only through private transactions.
This is not a Anthropic share price. It is a leveraged futures contract on Bybit that settles in USDT and confers no ownership of Anthropic.
Read this number carefully. The contract traded $120.3K in the last 24 hours — a fraction of the volume behind a listed stock's price. Pre-IPO contracts have no underlying shares to arbitrage against, so the usual mechanism that keeps a futures price tethered to reality is absent, and the exchange may settle the contract at a price of its own choosing if no listing happens. Treat it as sentiment, not valuation.

A US listing starts with an S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC. That filing is public, and it is the first point at which real financials, a share count and a timetable exist. Anything published before an S-1 — including a price on a derivatives venue — is an estimate, not a valuation.
Be careful with "pre-IPO" share offers. Legitimate pre-IPO stock is generally restricted to employees, existing investors and accredited investors, and unsolicited offers to sell you shares in a private company are a common fraud pattern.
