AI: Anthropic likely to be valued at $2 billion in IPO
The rapid growth of the AI company is not slowing down: According to a media report, investors of Anthropic consider another valuation jump possible - within a few months.
Düsseldorf. According to a report by the Financial Times (FT), AI company Anthropic can expect a valuation of up to two trillion dollars in a possible initial public offering (IPO) in the fall. This would far exceed Elon Musk's space company SpaceX, which went public in the spring, and would be the largest IPO of all time. The newspaper cites conversations with Anthropic investors, who expect a valuation of two trillion dollars in an October IPO.
They cite the company's strongly rising revenues with its AI models and applications as the reason for this. By the end of 2026, they expect an annualized revenue of 100 to 120 billion dollars. Due to the strong growth, Anthropic often reports its own business figures on an annualized basis, i.e., as if a current turnover were to continue for a year.
At the end of 2025, it was still just under ten billion dollars - the turnover would therefore multiply by ten. A valuation of two trillion would then correspond to 20 times the revenue.
