Why would it? Don't use resistive electromagnets, and you're good. Permanent magnets (with electromagnets for the servo controls) or superconductive magnets would allow you to levitate your antimatter with zero to minimal power (in the latter case, you might need power to run the cryostats that keep your superconductors superconducting - but you probably want your antimatter chamber cold for other reasons as well (like preventing out-gassing).
