Anthropic targets $2 trillion+ valuation ahead of potential 2026 IPO
Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot, is preparing for a potential initial public offering (IPO) as early as autumn 2026. The company is reportedly targeting a valuation between $2 trillion and $3 trillion, which would make it one of the largest stock offerings in history.
Financial indicators show rapid growth for the AI startup. Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate surpassed $65 billion by the end of July 2026, a significant increase from $47 billion in May and approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025. The company reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 revenue exceeding $11.5 billion, alongside positive adjusted operating income.
Looking ahead, Anthropic projects its revenue could reach between $190 billion and $200 billion by 2028. The company's potential market debut is part of a broader race among AI leaders like OpenAI to reach public markets. Additionally, Anthropic's co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their wealth to charitable causes, a move expected to contribute significantly to a massive philanthropic wave.
