Anthropic has filed for a U.S. initial public offering, seeking to list its Class A shares on Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT.” The Claude developer has not yet determined the number of shares or price range, and the offering remains subject to regulatory review.
The filing shows revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, up from $1.16 billion a year earlier. Anthropic reported an $80.7 billion net loss, compared with $13 billion in the prior-year period, but about $72 billion of the latest loss reflected largely noncash accounting charges tied to convertible notes and other financing instruments. Its operating loss narrowed to $693 million from $2.14 billion, while computing and infrastructure expenses totaled $8.95 billion.
Anthropic said it had more than 11,900 customers generating at least $100,000 in revenue over the preceding 12 months as of September 30, up from more than 950 a year earlier. The company held $131.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30.
The prospectus also describes an unusual governance structure. A special share controlled by Anthropic’s seven co-founders will carry 50.1% of general shareholder voting power, while the company’s Long-Term Benefit Trust can appoint a majority of the board. Public shareholders would consequently have limited influence over major decisions.
Anthropic’s risk disclosures cover competition, dependence on computing providers, regulation, model misuse and the possibility that future highly autonomous AI systems could create catastrophic risks. The company previously submitted a confidential draft registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1.
