Anthropic prepares for massive IPO following 14x revenue surge
Anthropic is preparing for a major initial public offering (IPO) following a period of explosive financial growth. Preliminary reports indicate the company's second-quarter 2026 revenue exceeded $11.5 billion, representing a more than 14-fold increase compared to the $787 million reported in the same quarter of 2025. The company also reportedly achieved positive adjusted operating income during this period.
As part of its IPO preparations, Anthropic has filed a confidential S-1 with the SEC. The company is reportedly working with major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, to manage the offering. While the company's annualized revenue run rate was reported at $47 billion in May 2026, internal projections suggest a much more ambitious trajectory, with potential revenues reaching between $190 billion and $200 billion by 2028.
This rapid expansion has led to significant speculation regarding the company's valuation. Some investors are targeting a valuation as high as $2 trillion for a potential October debut, which would make it one of the largest IPOs in history. Current market activity, including tokenized pre-IPO futures, has implied valuations ranging from $1.6 trillion to $1.84 trillion. Anthropic is also reportedly in talks to acquire Decart for $6 billion to bolster its technological infrastructure.
