Anthropic Files for Record-Breaking Nasdaq IPO
Anthropic has filed documents with the SEC for a Nasdaq initial public offering under the ticker "ANT," targeting a record-breaking $100 billion raise that could value the AI company between $1.5 and $2 trillion. The IPO, potentially debuting the week of November 16, would surpass SpaceX's $86 billion offering from June 2026 and Saudi Aramco's $29.4 billion record from 2019, marking a shift in major financial listings toward new technology. Anthropic reported first-half 2026 revenues of $16.3 billion but a net loss of $80.7 billion, including accounting adjustments. Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers Dario and Daniela Amodei, Anthropic built its success on the Claude model family, targeting enterprise clients and software developers with recurring revenue contracts, positioning itself as a major test of AI company valuations.
