On October 26, Anthropic publicly filed its S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. The filing, which left the specific price range and total share count blank, formally disclosed existential risks associated with the company's artificial intelligence models and warned that disruptions to TSMC's semiconductor manufacturing could severely impact operations. Prior to the public filing, Anthropic was expected to submit the document at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

The public prospectus revealed that Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue during the first half of the year, up from $1.1 billion a year earlier. Alongside the revenue, the company recorded an $80.7 billion net loss for the first half of the year, an increase from a $13 billion deficit a year earlier. Of that loss, $72 billion stemmed from non-cash accounting adjustments tied to convertible debt rather than operational cash burn.

The public debut is expected to be one of the largest in stock market history, potentially valuing the artificial intelligence startup between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. The listing comes amid broader market questions regarding the safety and long-term profitability of generative artificial intelligence technologies.

How the story developed

On June 1, Anthropic submitted a confidential draft to the Securities and Exchange Commission, followed by a confidential filing for an initial public offering after a $65 billion funding round. At the time, the company's valuation reached approximately $965 billion, and its annualized revenue had surged to $47 billion in May, up from $1 billion in late 2024. The company also secured over 300 megawatts of data center capacity and 220,000 GPUs through a partnership with SpaceX.

By August 19, investors projected the company's planned October initial public offering could value Anthropic at $2 trillion or more, based on projections that it would generate $190 billion to $200 billion in revenue by 2028. Shares traded at an implied valuation of $1.5 trillion on secondary markets. The company was also projected to post its first quarterly operating profit of $559 million for the second quarter.

On September 25, Anthropic asked shareholders to approve a governance structure granting its seven co-founders a combined 50.1% voting control ahead of the public listing to maintain authority over artificial intelligence deployment and safety protocols. The special shares provided voting power but no additional economic value to the founders, who each owned about 2%, while the Long-Term Benefit Trust continued to elect a majority of the board. The voting bloc remains active only if at least three founders maintain a minimum ownership stake, and employees received a separate class of shares to break ties on specific corporate matters.

On September 27, the company pushed its planned initial public offering from October to November, maintaining its $2 trillion target valuation and revealing a new projection of a $110 billion annualized revenue run rate as retail capital flooded pre-IPO funds. Two days later, an initial public offering prospectus disclosed $518 billion in locked-in future infrastructure obligations to cloud providers.

By October 15, Anthropic generated $16.8 billion in third-quarter revenue, a 45% sequential increase from the previous three months, and achieved profitability on an adjusted basis for the second consecutive quarter. Private market analysts cautioned that the decelerating growth rate could impact the final pricing of the stock market debut. On October 21, the company disclosed it spent nearly $9 billion on computing infrastructure during the first half of the year.
