Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity. Bitcoin Cash intends to be a Bitcoin without Segregated Witness (SegWit) as soft fork, where upgrades of the protocol are done mainly through hard forks and without changing the original economic rules of the Bitcoin.  Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is released on 1st August 2017 as an upgraded version of the original Bitcoin Core software. The main upgrade is the increase in the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB. This effectively allows miners on the BCH chain to process up to 8 times more payments per second in comparison to Bitcoin. This makes for faster, cheaper transactions and a much smoother user experience.  Why was Bitcoin Cash Created?  The main objective of Bitcoin Cash is to to bring back the essential qualities of money inherent in the original Bitcoin software. Over the years, these qualities were filtered out of Bitcoin Core and progress was stifled by various people, organizations, and companies involved in Bitcoin protocol development. The result is that Bitcoin Core is currently unusable as money due to increasingly high fees per transactions and transfer times taking hours to complete. This is all because of the 1MB limitation of Bitcoin Core’s block size, causing it unable to accommodate to large number of transactions.  Essentially Bitcoin Cash is a community-activated upgrade (otherwise known as a hard fork) of Bitcoin that increased the block size to 8MB, solving the scaling issues that plague Bitcoin Core today.

Miller said the firm rejected raising capital through hedge funds and instead distributed shares directly to platform investors.“Let the retail investors be the ones who get the inside shares rather than the hedge funds,” Miller said, adding that “our customer is the retail investor, is the individual investor, not the institutions.”VCX has raised between $450 million and $500 million from about 100,000 investors, according to Miller, and delivered strong early performance before its listing. “It performed really well over the first few years,” he said. “I think the average client return was 40% a year.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Private Tech IPO Pipeline Heats Up</h2>Demand for vehicles offering proxy exposure to private technology leaders has increased following reports that SpaceX could file its IPO prospectus any day now, ahead of a potential June listing expected to raise more than $75 billion.Anthropic has hired IPO counsel ahead of a possible 2026 listing, while OpenAI is reportedly preparing for a potential fourth-quarter debut after expanding a financing round that could mark its final major private raise before entering public markets.

The offering is shaping up to be part of a mega wave of listings this year that is also expected to include OpenAI and SpaceX.Even before prospectuses are filed, some investors are getting ahead of the curve by gaining exposure through exchange-traded funds and private investment vehicles, products that have attracted significant interest over the past year.Bloomberg <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-27/claude-ai-maker-anthropic-said-to-weigh-ipo-as-soon-as-october">reported</a>, citing sources, that Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley might be hired managers for Anthropic's IPO, which could raise a staggering $60 billion.Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI employees in 2021, is believed to be <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-anthropic-s-ipo-might-just-be-juicier-than-open-ai-s/cLIXYLXRE1c">quickly closing the gap</a> with OpenAI. According to reported internal projections, Anthropic expects to be profitable in 2028, while OpenAI expects $74 billion in operating losses that year.Anthropic has also left a mark more recently with the launch of a series of agentic AI tools as part of its offering, Claude Cowork, which triggered <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/saas-stocks-stumble-as-ai-fears-trigger-selloff-retail-eyes-selective-bets/cmUu4hVR49H">a widespread sell-off</a> in the shares of major software companies.Although the IPO timeline could vary, picking up exposure to Anthropic before the event is possible through the following funds:<figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Fund</td><td>Anthropic Exposure</td><td>Top 5 Holdings</td></tr><tr><td>KraneShares Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (AGIX)</td><td>2.5%</td><td>Nvidia (5.1%), Microsoft (4%), Meta (3.9%), Alphabet (3.5%), Apple (3.3%)</td></tr><tr><td>Fundrise Innovation Fund (VCX)</td><td>20%</td><td>Databricks (17.7%), OpenAI (9.9%), Anduril (6.9%), Ramp (5.1%), Tesla (5%)</td></tr><tr><td>ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX)</td><td>3.8%</td><td>SpaceX (17.9%), Replit (4.9%), Figure AI (3.7%), Databricks (3.1%), Zipline (3%)</td></tr><tr><td>Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ)</td><td>Undisclosed</td><td>SpaceX (16.2%), Shield AI (4.1%), Databricks (4%), Beast Industries (3.5%), OpenEvidence (3.5%)</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Source: Funds’ disclosures.<h2 class="st-heading-2"> Soaring Interest In Private Tech ETFs, Funds</h2>For now, only two exchange-traded funds – the KraneShares Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (AGIX) and Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ) – offer direct exposure to Anthropic.About 2.5% of AGIX's holdings is currently Anthropic equity, while DXYZ’s Anthropic holding is much smaller and&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://destiny.xyz/tech100">not detailed</a> by the fund.&nbsp;ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX), a private fund that allows retail access, is another major source. About 3.8% of ARKVX’s portfolio is composed of Anthropic equity, in addition to large stakes in SpaceX, OpenAI, and several listed tech companies.Meanwhile, the Fundrise Innovation Fund (VCX), another private fund with retail access, held roughly 20% exposure to Anthropic.The funds are in high demand. Shares of the VCX have surged nearly 2,000% since listing last week, a key signal to investors in pre-IPO tech companies. ARKVX has returned 63% over the past year, sharply higher than the benchmark indices; DXYZ shares have declined 26% over the past 12 months.The funds are already a hit with retail investors. Watchers on Stocktwits for VCX have increased 2,000% in a week, while those for DXYZ and ARKVX have increased 32% and 22%, respectively, over the past month.Besides the funds, Amazon and Alphabet are among the largest investors with multi-billion-dollar stakes in Anthropic.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Anthropic Valuation Soars To $380B</h2>Anthropic was valued at about $380 billion following a $30 billion funding round led by MGX that closed in February. The company counts Alphabet, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia among its partners, each of which has also taken an equity stake and supplied specialized chips and other technology under agreements worth tens of billions of dollars.It’s been in the news recently over its fallout with the Pentagon over the use of AI in the defense business.&nbsp;The U.S. government designated the AI firm a supply chain risk – meaning it can’t do business with the government or any of its contractors – after Anthropic refused to remove safety guardrails that prevent its Claude AI from being used for fully autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.On Thursday, Anthropic won a preliminary injunction, pausing the government’s plan to sever all ties with the company while the case is heard in the San Francisco federal court.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-s-tough-year-gets-slightly-worse-indie-game-devs-call-for-boycott-urge-peers-to-tank-stock-here-s-why/cZ3utfIRIlN">Nvidia's Tough Year Gets Slightly Worse: Indie Game Devs Call For Boycott, Urge Peers To 'Tank' Stock — Here's Why</a>&nbsp;
