NYC seller seeks $6M in cash — or Anthropic stock — for luxury home

Talk about a high-tech trade-in.

A Brooklyn seller has put his $5.99 million property on the block, and he’ll sign the deed if you pay in cash — or Anthropic stock.

The homeowner is listing his 4,470-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom Williamsburg home at 3 Wythe Lane for sale and “Bitcoin or vested Anthropic shares can be accepted as payment,” according to the Zillow listing.

“Every generation has its wealth-creation vehicle. For many people today, that’s private technology companies and digital assets,” the seller, who is a daily user of Anthropic’s products, said in an emailed statement to Business Insider. “The mention of Anthropic shares and bitcoin was a way of acknowledging that reality while signaling that we’re open to creative transaction structures.”

Anthropic, the red-hot AI company best known for Claude, may be going public as soon as October, with a roughly $1 trillion valuation.

News of the Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-1 filing led the Wythe Lane seller to include the Anthropic payment option so employees could use their “windfall liquidity” to buy property, according to Business Insider.

The five-story home is part of Wythe Lane Townhouses, a group of six, five-story homes built by KUB Capital in 2015. 

The primary suite occupies the top floor and includes a “spa-like wet room with soaking tub and walk-in closet,” per Zillow, while the finished lower level offers flexible space for a home theater, gym, office or studio.

There is a large garden on the first level and a hardscaped roof deck with panoramic views of Manhattan and the Williamsburg Bridge. 

3 Wythe Lane comes equipped with a secondary entrance on South 4th Street, providing quick access to Domino Park. It also has a private garage with EV charging capability, secure package delivery to the private Wythe Lane mews and remote guest access via an app.

The seller acquired his townhouse from KUB Capital in September 2016 for $4.17 million, according to city property records. He listed it for sale in August 2025 for $6.5 million, per Zillow, then dropped the price to $6.4 million a couple of months later before removing the listing in January 2026. The home returned to the market on March 19 at $5.99 million.
