Anthropic Opens Talks With New York City Comptroller Over IPO and AI Risks

Anthropic has opened talks with New York City Comptroller after the city’s pension funds asked the artificial-intelligence company to delay its planned initial public offering, according to reports from Bloomberg, France 24 and MarketWatch. The discussions concern potential “existential risks” from AI and how those risks could affect Anthropic as a publicly traded company.
The request comes as Anthropic prepares for a possible listing that could value it at more than $2 trillion. People who attended an Oct. 14 investor meeting said the company reported third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion and an adjusted profit, although Anthropic has not publicly confirmed those figures or specified the costs excluded from the profit measure.
Anthropic’s confidential prospectus reported nearly $4.6 billion in 2025 revenue and a net loss of about $42 billion, most of which reflected a noncash accounting charge. Reuters reported an operating loss of $8.06 billion and about $518 billion in decade-long commitments for cloud services, computing and infrastructure.
The company is also facing federal scrutiny. The Federal Trade Commission has subpoenaed Anthropic and OpenAI for documents concerning security incidents, safeguards, marketing and privacy policies as part of an investigation into possible consumer-protection violations, Engadget reported.
