Anthropic publicly filed for an initial public offering on Monday, setting up a possible Nasdaq debut under the ticker “ANT” as early as November. The maker of the Claude chatbot did not disclose how many shares it plans to sell or a proposed price range, but reports cited by several outlets said it could seek to raise as much as $100 billion at a valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion.
The filing showed rapid growth alongside a steep headline loss. Anthropic reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, up from $1.3 billion in the same period a year earlier, while its net loss widened to $80.7 billion from $13 billion. Fortune reported that most of the deficit reflected changes in the fair value of convertible notes and other non-cash charges; excluding those items, the company posted adjusted operating income of $1.6 billion. Anthropic said it held $112.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30.
In a letter to prospective investors, Anthropic’s seven co-founders described artificial intelligence as one of history’s most consequential technologies and acknowledged that management might slow development to address societal risks even if doing so left the company behind competitors. The prospectus devoted extensive space to investment risks, including major future computing commitments.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are leading the offering. If completed on the reported terms, the listing could rank among the largest IPOs on record.
