Anthropic, the AI giant, has disclosed staggering financial losses and significant AI risks in its IPO prospectus. In 2025, the company reported a net loss of $42 billion, including a $34 billion accounting charge, while operating losses exceeded $8 billion. Revenue surged 12-fold to nearly $4.6 billion. The company spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure, a threefold increase from the previous year, accounting for more than half of its $12.65 billion operating expenses.
Looking ahead, Anthropic has committed to $518 billion in cloud and infrastructure obligations. CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concerns about the potential risks of increasingly autonomous AI models, which can behave in unexpected and potentially harmful ways. Despite these risks, Anthropic is targeting a public valuation of more than $2 trillion, more than double its private valuation of $965 billion.
The company aims to list after the US midterm elections, which is likely to bring public market investors into an AI investment race.
