Anthropic confidentially filed for an IPO in June and is targeting a $100 billion offering that could set a record. It could debut at a $2 trillion valuation, while Bloomberg reports second-quarter revenue of $11.5 billion, up from $787 million a year earlier.
The next steps described are a public filing with the SEC and an IPO roadshow to gauge institutional-investor interest. The text says the debut was originally reported for September or October and pushed to November, but a section heading says it is not set for November, leaving the timing unclear.
Anthropic may be fast-tracked into indexes, as SpaceX was, but its financials are not public and it may not be profitable under GAAP. The article also cites Dario Amodei’s call to slow AI advances, agreement from Sam Altman and Elon Musk, a reported AI model attack and opposition to US data-center construction as issues that could affect the sector.
