AI firm Anthropic files for what could be record-breaking IPO
Anthropic has filed for a public offering that could value the AI company at up to $2 trillion, potentially the largest IPO in history.
Anthropic, the five-year-old AI company behind Claude, filed for an initial public offering on Monday that could be worth up to $2 trillion, making it potentially the largest IPO in history. The company disclosed revenues of $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026 but posted net losses of $80.7 billion for the same period, largely due to a $72.4 billion one-off charge. Anthropic's seven co-founders, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, wrote to investors that AI is 'one of the most consequential technologies in human history', but the prospectus devoted over 90 pages to risks including potential 'catastrophic or existential risks to humanity' if AI is not developed with 'appropriate safeguards, oversight, and security measures'. The company plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker 'ANT', with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as lead underwriters, and could go public as early as November.
