Anthropic publicly filed for a U.S. initial public offering on Monday, disclosing rapid revenue growth, a widening loss and extensive commitments for computing infrastructure.
The maker of the Claude AI models reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, compared with $4.6 billion for all of 2025. Revenue rose 1,368% year over year in the three months ended June 30. Its net loss reached $80.7 billion in the first half, up from $42 billion in 2025, though much of the latest loss reflected an accounting charge tied to the rising fair value of bonds convertible into shares.
The filing detailed plans to spend heavily on cloud and computing capacity. Reported commitments include at least $110 billion with Amazon through April 2036, $115 billion with Google and $45 billion with Microsoft through 2033. Anthropic also agreed to spend up to $120.5 billion for Nvidia-powered computing capacity from SpaceX through 2029, although portions of those agreements can be canceled after initial periods.
Anthropic warned that its business remains highly capital-intensive and that it may need additional financing sooner than expected. It said future growth depends partly on obtaining enough specialized computing capacity amid intense competition.
The company plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT.” The filing did not specify the number or price of shares to be offered or an expected valuation. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are leading the offering.
