Anthropic's first-half net loss reached $80.7 billion, draft IPO filing shows
A $72 billion accounting charge tied to convertible bonds drove most of the loss, ahead of an expected November IPO
Anthropic, an AI startup, reported a staggering net loss of over $80 billion in the first half of 2026, according to a report by Reuters. This figure represents a sharp increase from a net loss of $13 billion in the same period a year prior, as stated in the Wall Street Journal's report. The primary contributor to this substantial loss was a $72 billion in accounting charges, which were a result of valuation adjustments for convertible notes and other financial instruments that Anthropic had issued for funding purposes.
