Anthropic files for IPO as revenue surges 14-fold to $16.3 billion

Anthropic has officially filed for an initial public offering with the SEC, planning to list its Class A shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT." The company reported first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion, a roughly 14-fold increase year-over-year. The filing shows operating losses narrowed to $693 million from $2.1 billion, but net losses reached $80.7 billion, primarily due to a $72.4 billion charge from convertible note fair value changes. Underwriters include Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, with offerings planned in multiple countries. Post-IPO, the founders' group will retain 50.1% voting control through special Class F shares, while a Long-Term Benefit Trust holds authority to appoint board members. The company aims for a mid-November listing with a potential valuation of up to $2 trillion.
