Anthropic files for IPO that could be largest ever, targeting up to $100B

cbc.ca —

Anthropic filed papers Monday for a potential record-breaking initial public offering, which could raise up to $100 billion US, according to reports. The filing sets up a Wall Street debut next month that may surpass SpaceX's June IPO of $86 billion US. The San Francisco-based AI company behind the chatbot Claude reported a net loss of $80.7 billion US in the first half of 2026, up from $13 billion US a year earlier, though revenue is growing rapidly. Privately valued at $965 billion US earlier this year, its valuation could rise to $1.5 trillion or $2 trillion. The IPO would put Anthropic ahead of rival OpenAI in going public and could boost the wealth of CEO Dario Amodei and co-founder Daniela by billions. The company will list on Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT," with the filing coming weeks after Amodei urged slowing advanced AI development.
