Anthropic PreStocks Token Drops 45% in 24 Hours After Company Issues Official Warning

According to CoinGecko data cited by CoinDesk, Anthropic PreStocks tokens plummeted 45% within 24 hours after the AI company warned that unapproved transfers of its stock are void and will not be recognized. The Solana-based tokens issued by PreStocks fell 34% over seven days, while OpenAI PreStocks declined 39% over the same period.

AnthropOic stated on its updated investor warning page (revised May 12) that it “does not permit special purpose vehicles to acquire Anthropic stock,” adding that any third party selling its shares through “direct sales, forward contracts, tokenized securities, or other mechanisms” is “likely either engaged in fraud or offering an investment that may have no value.” OpenAI issued a parallel warning, stating that unauthorized transactions may violate U.S. securities laws.
