Anthropic filed for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, seeking to list on Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT.” The Claude developer did not disclose how many shares it plans to sell, a price range or a listing date.
The filing showed rapid growth alongside heavy spending. Anthropic reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, up from $1.2 billion a year earlier, and a net loss of $80.7 billion, compared with nearly $13 billion in the same period of 2025. The company cautioned that its revenue growth would slow and said it may not achieve sustained profitability.
Anthropic described AI as a potentially transformative technology that could boost productivity and accelerate research into diseases including cancer and Alzheimer’s. It also warned that advanced systems could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity” if misused, weaponized or allowed to operate with substantial autonomy without adequate safeguards. The prospectus cited cyberattacks, job displacement, unintended model behavior, energy constraints and rising data-center costs among its risks.
The filing also detailed Anthropic’s governance structure. Its seven co-founders hold 50.1% voting power over certain matters, while a long-term benefit trust controls a special share class intended to let it elect a majority of the board. Anthropic is organized as a Delaware public benefit corporation, requiring it to balance investor interests with its stated public mission.
