Anthropic Confidentially Files for U.S. IPO After $65 Billion Round
The AI company said the filing could be followed by a public S-1 and an IPO about a month later.
Anthropic confidentially filed IPO papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, initiating the process for a potential public listing.
Series funding of $65 billion last week pushed Anthropic to a $965 billion valuation, more than doubling from $30 billion earlier in the year and leapfrogging rival OpenAI.
Confidential IPO filings allow Anthropic to solicit regulator feedback before filing a public S-1 with financial data and risk factors; the actual IPO would follow about one month later.
SpaceX is expected to launch its IPO later this month at a $1.75 trillion valuation with a $75 billion offering, while OpenAI prepares its own confidential filing in coming weeks.
Three companies could enter public markets with valuations of at least $1 trillion, a historic milestone never before achieved and marking a watershed moment for Wall Street.
