Anthropic Plans $2 Trillion IPO Amid Rising Losses, AI Risks, and Infrastructure Spending
Anthropic, an AI company founded five years ago, is preparing for an IPO that could value it at over $2 trillion, more than double its May 2026 valuation. The company reported a net loss of nearly $42 billion in 2025, largely due to accounting charges, while its revenue surged 12-fold to about $4.6 billion. Anthropic plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and infrastructure over the next decade, with significant non-cancellable commitments to partners like Google and Amazon. Its IPO prospectus also warns of potential existential risks posed by advanced AI models, highlighting concerns about AI safety and unpredictable behaviors.
