Anthropic targets November IPO with potential $2 trillion valuation
Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI assistant, is reportedly planning to move its initial public offering (IPO) from October to November. This delay is intended to allow the company to present its third-quarter financial results, which are expected to demonstrate strong commercial performance and growth.
Investors are anticipating a landmark offering that could value the company at approximately $2 trillion and raise as much as $100 billion. This would represent one of the largest technology IPOs in history. The company’s revenue run rate has seen significant growth, rising from roughly $9 billion at the end of 2025 to over $65 billion by the end of July.
The timing of the listing comes amid an industry-wide debate regarding AI safety and the pace of development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has publicly advocated for a measured approach to AI advancement to address potential security risks. While some investors have raised concerns about how a slower development pace might impact long-term financials, others suggest that establishing safety leadership could benefit the company's governance as a public entity.
