Anthropic, a San Francisco-based AI company, is preparing to go public with an initial public offering (IPO). The company has filed its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), revealing details about its financials, IPO plans, and potential risks. As of June 30, 2026, Anthropic had raised $141.1 billion in capital, with cash and cash equivalents of $112.4 billion and short-term investments totaling $19.3 billion.
Its most recent valuation was $965 billion. While Anthropic generated $4.6 billion in revenue in 2025 and $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, it has consistently operated at a loss. The company's net loss reached $80.7 billion in the first half of 2026, largely due to the increase in the value of its convertible promissory notes.
No official IPO date has been announced, but it is expected to occur within the next month. Anthropic plans to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker "ANT." The SEC filing identifies concerns about the potential existential risks posed by advanced AI systems as the most significant risk factors for investors.
Despite the financial challenges, Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has called for greater government regulation around AI development.
