Talk about a high-tech trade-in. <\/p>\n

A Brooklyn seller has put his $5.99 million property on the block, and he\u2019ll sign the deed if you pay in cash \u2014 or Anthropic stock.<\/p>\n

The homeowner is listing his 4,470-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom Williamsburg home at 3 Wythe Lane for sale and \u201cBitcoin or vested Anthropic shares can be accepted as payment,\u201d according to the Zillow listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery generation has its wealth-creation vehicle. For many people today, that\u2019s private technology companies and digital assets,\u201d the seller, who is a daily user of Anthropic\u2019s products, said in an emailed statement<\/a> to Business Insider. \u201cThe mention of Anthropic shares and bitcoin was a way of acknowledging that reality while signaling that we\u2019re open to creative transaction structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

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 \u201cwindfall liquidity\u201d to buy property, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n

The five-story home is part of Wythe Lane Townhouses, a group of six, five-story homes built by KUB Capital in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The primary suite occupies the top floor and includes a \u201cspa-like wet room with soaking tub and walk-in closet,\u201d per Zillow, while the finished lower level offers flexible space for a home theater, gym, office or studio.<\/p>\n

There is a large garden on the first level and a hardscaped roof deck with panoramic views of Manhattan and the Williamsburg Bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
