Anthropic Files for IPO, Targets Nasdaq Listing with Potential Record Valuation
Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, filed for a US initial public offering (IPO) aiming for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT. The IPO could become one of the largest in history, potentially rivaling SpaceX's debut, with a valuation estimated around $1.5 to $2 trillion. The filing highlights rapid revenue growth to $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, alongside significant net losses exceeding $80 billion, reflecting high costs and investments in AI development and infrastructure. Anthropic also flagged risks related to AI safety and operational challenges amid growing investor scrutiny and market volatility.
