Anthropic Market Debut Could Break SpaceX IPO Record: Media
- According to Bloomberg, Anthropic expects its upcoming IPO to match or exceed SpaceX's record $75bn raise, with a public filing possible as soon as the end of this month.
- Driven by preliminary second-quarter revenue exceeding $11.5 billion and an annualized run rate reaching $65 billion by late July, the company simultaneously recorded a net loss of almost $42bn in 2025.
- To manage the listing, Anthropic engaged Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan, while preparing to close a revolving credit facility above its $10bn target and considering super-voting shares for Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei.
- Surpassing SpaceX's record with this IPO would push 2026 to the highest annual U.S. IPO volume on record, as companies have already raised $160.6 billion through August 19, nearing the 2021 peak of $195.2 billion.
- While OpenAI is now looking at 2027, Anthropic is on track to debut earlier, maintaining a computing capacity agreement with SpaceX that could be worth tens of billions over three years.
