Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows sweeping AI vision, surging costs
- Anthropic PBC plans to launch its initial public offering in mid-November, targeting a valuation between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion, with formal marketing beginning the week of November 9.
- In a heated race with OpenAI to produce advanced AI models, Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025 and plans to spend north of $500 billion on computing and infrastructure in coming years.
- Raising as much as $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation would surpass SpaceX's roughly $86 billion IPO as the largest ever, while major investors Alphabet and Amazon own around 15% to 20% of Anthropic.
- Rising interest rates and bond yields have complicated the IPO market in recent weeks; CEO Dario Amodei called for an industry-wide slowdown over safety concerns, and competitors Oura and OpenAI have delayed their debuts.
- Angelo Zino, tech analyst at CFRA Research, said Anthropic is in a league of its own with strong product demand and a path to profitability despite market uncertainty.
