Anthropic could beat Elon Musk's SpaceX for largest 2026 IPO, prediction markets show
Anthropic, a private artificial intelligence company, is reportedly poised to surpass Elon Musk's SpaceX in terms of the largest IPO of 2026, according to prediction market data. Polymarket data suggests that Anthropic's revenue growth is on track to surpass $65 billion by the end of 2026, up from $47 billion in May. This would potentially make Anthropic the largest IPO of the year, ahead of SpaceX, which is valued at $1.78 trillion after its own public debut on the Nasdaq.
SpaceX made its initial public offering on June 12, with shares opening at $150 and closing at $160.95 on the same day, reflecting a 19.2% gain from the offering price. Despite the success, the stock faced volatility and eventually peaked at $225 before dropping to around $104 due to concerns about lockup expirations and capital expenditure plans.
The company's market capitalization is now estimated at $1.93 trillion. In contrast, OpenAI, Anthropic's main competitor, is not currently listed among the top contenders for the largest IPO of 2026 in Polymarket data.
