Anthropic Eyes Historic $965B IPO: Could Beat OpenAI to Public Markets

The startup could become one of the largest public offerings in AI as investors question whether massive spending will pay off.

  • Anthropic is preparing for a potential IPO, targeting a market debut in September or early October with a valuation of about $965 billion.
  • Strong demand for Claude Code, an AI tool that reached $47 billion in run-rate revenue in May, has bolstered Anthropic's market position alongside strategic computing partnerships with Google and SpaceX.
  • Investors increasingly question whether Amazon and Microsoft's planned spending of more than $700 billion on AI infrastructure will generate sustainable returns, as Chinese companies release open-source models reportedly 60% to 90% cheaper.
  • Anthropic's listing follows SpaceX's record-breaking June debut, where the company briefly reached a valuation above $2 trillion before shares fell more than 16%, illustrating risks for highly valued companies.
  • Anthropic plans to expand into healthcare and biology to diversify commercial reach, while hyperscalers argue their heavy spending is safe, citing customer commitments extending through 2027 and 2028.
