Anthropic Takes First Step Toward IPO After Reaching $965 Billion Valuation

Anthropic has confidentially submitted paperwork to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering, taking the first formal step toward what could become one of the largest stock market debuts in technology history.

The AI company confirmed the filing on Monday, saying the move preserves its option to enter public markets once the SEC completes its review process. Anthropic noted that the offering remains subject to market conditions and other factors, and said details including pricing and the number of shares have not yet been determined.

The filing comes during a period of rapid growth for Anthropic, whose Claude family of AI models has gained traction across consumer and enterprise markets. The company disclosed a revenue run rate of $47 billion in May, a sharp increase from the $10 billion in annual revenue it reported the previous year.

Investor interest in the company has accelerated alongside that growth. Anthropic recently completed a $65 billion fundraising round that valued the company at $965 billion, surpassing the $852 billion valuation reported for OpenAI earlier this year.

Much of Anthropic’s momentum has been driven by its Claude ecosystem, including products such as Claude Code, the company’s AI coding assistant. Anthropic has also expanded access to more advanced models through specialized programs aimed at enterprise, government, and financial customers. One such release, Claude Mythos Preview, attracted attention for its cybersecurity-focused capabilities and was made available to select organizations through the company’s Project Glasswing initiative.

The IPO filing positions Anthropic among a growing group of high-profile technology companies preparing for public listings. OpenAI is reportedly working toward its own Wall Street debut and is expected to submit a confidential filing in the coming weeks. SpaceX has already advanced further in the process, with a prospectus filed and an investor roadshow underway ahead of its planned market entry.

If completed, the offerings from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX could rank among the largest public listings ever.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers and executives, Anthropic has emerged as one of the leading developers of frontier AI models. The company reported its first quarterly profit earlier this year and has continued expanding its enterprise business as organizations increase spending on AI-powered coding, automation, and productivity tools.

While the timeline for a public debut remains uncertain, the confidential filing marks a significant milestone for Anthropic as it moves from startup status toward becoming a publicly traded AI company.
