SK Telecom's Anthropic stake moved into focus after the U.S. artificial intelligence company filed an S-1 registration statement on October 26, according to Seoul Economic Daily. The report said SK Telecom's shares closed at 78,400 Korean won on October 29, up 6.67 percent from the previous session, while KT and LG Uplus posted smaller gains.

SK Telecom invested 100 million U.S. dollars in Anthropic in August 2023 and made an additional investment in the first half of 2026. The book value of the stake stood at 3.505 trillion Korean won at the end of June, according to the report.

AI infrastructure becomes central

The Anthropic development adds a valuation factor alongside SK Telecom's own AI infrastructure plans. The company is working to spin off SK Broadband's data center and submarine cable operations into SK Horizon, a specialist intended to attract outside capital and accelerate expansion.

KKR and a consortium of IMM Investment and Stonebridge are set to invest 3.08 trillion Korean won in the new entity, Seoul Economic Daily reported. Analysts cited in the article said the structure could support more aggressive data center growth, while also warning that an Anthropic listing could increase volatility.
