Anthropic’s growth slows ahead of IPO as AI spending bill nears $900bn
Anthropic’s revenue has surged twelvefold to nearly $17bn (£13bn), but the AI giant has slipped back into the red as its computing commitments approach $900bn ahead of a potentially record-breaking stock market debut.

Anthropic, the AI company behind the popular Claude model, has experienced a slowdown in growth ahead of its highly anticipated IPO. While its revenue has skyrocketed to nearly $17 billion, the company is now operating at a $567 million loss for the latest quarter, after reporting a profit just a few months prior. This decline in profitability comes as Anthropic faces mounting pressure to justify the unprecedented spending on computing infrastructure, which is projected to reach $900 billion.
The company's massive computing commitments, primarily with Broadcom, Google, and SpaceX, are almost seven times its current cash reserves. Despite a 47% decline in quarterly revenue growth compared to the previous quarter, Anthropic's IPO could still be a record-breaking event, potentially rivaling SpaceX's $86.2 billion flotation.
The prospectus reveals that around $448 billion of the $900 billion computing bill is due by the end of 2030, causing concerns about the company's ability to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.
