Anthropic files for IPO, targets debut rivaling SpaceX
Anthropic plans to publicly file its IPO prospectus on October 26, aiming for a stock market debut that could rival SpaceX's record-breaking listing. The AI model maker behind Claude will begin marketing to investors as soon as November 9. The company expects to match or exceed the size of SpaceX's IPO, according to people familiar with the matter. The filing timing was first reported by Fox Business, and Anthropic representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Anthropic's IPO is one of the few major deals proceeding despite global listing delays, including AirTrunk's postponed Singapore REIT and Firmus's collapsed offering. The company faces mounting scrutiny over AI safety following high-profile hacking incidents by rogue agents.
