Moomoo’s up to $1,000 Anthropic stock welcome bonus, by deposit tier
Moomoo’s invite messages lead with “up to $1,000 in free Anthropic stock.” That figure is real, but it is the top of a five-step ladder, and reaching it takes a $100,000 deposit held for six months. Here is the whole ladder.
Who it is for
New Moomoo accounts: people who had not opened a brokerage account before November 1, 2026, or who have an account but have never deposited. You must be a US resident, at least 18, with a valid Social Security number.
Your first deposit has to settle by 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2026. One reward per new account, one account per person, and one deposit bonus per device.
The terms do not say a referral code is needed for this bonus.
The tiers
$500 net deposit: $30 in Anthropic stock, held 60 days.
$2,000: $100 in stock, held 60 days.
$10,000: $200 in stock, held 120 days.
$50,000: $400 in stock, held 120 days.
$100,000: $1,000 in stock, held 180 days.
The amounts are totals, not added on top of each other: a $10,000 deposit gets $200, not $330. The terms’ own FAQ describes some holding periods differently from this table, so confirm the one that applies to you in the app.
Holding the deposit
Net deposit means deposits minus withdrawals, by ACH, wire or Moomoo instant transfer. Transfers of existing shares from another broker do not count toward it.
Your balance has to stay at or above the tier’s amount for the whole holding period. Withdrawing below it on any day loses the reward. If the market falls and takes you below it, the terms say to raise it with Moomoo’s customer service.
When the stock arrives
Within 5 trading days after the holding period ends, as fractional shares that cannot be transferred out of Moomoo. If a reward you qualified for does not show up, Moomoo asks you to claim it with customer service within 14 business days.
The shares are bought on the open market and are not IPO shares. If Anthropic has not gone public by December 31, 2026, Moomoo says the reward will be an equivalent amount of NVDA stock instead.
The 8.1% APY
This is Moomoo’s cash sweep base rate, 3.6% when the terms were written, plus a 4.5% booster coupon for new customers. The booster covers only the first $20,000 of uninvested cash, lasts two months once you activate it in the app, and must be activated within 12 months. After that you are back on the base rate, which can change.
Trading coupons
The same terms add $100 in trading coupons, ten $10 coupons, for a $100 net deposit. Coupons work only against trades in the app and have no cash value.
Where a referral code fits
The welcome bonus is Moomoo’s. A referral code is what lets the person who shared it earn their referral reward, which is separate. If you are signing up anyway, using someone’s code costs you nothing.
