Anthropic officially files for IPO

The company intends to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ANT", it said.

The number of shares of Class A common stock to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not been decided yet, it added.

The IPO filing comes as Anthropic’s business expands rapidly, driven by growing demand for its AI models and enterprise offerings even as concerns and debates about AI's threat to humanity grows.

The company reported revenue of $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, compared with $1.2 billion in the corresponding period last year, according to its latest SEC filing.

However, the company reported a net loss of $80.7 billion during the six-month period. The loss was largely driven by non-cash accounting adjustments linked to convertible debt.

Anthropic’s operating loss, meanwhile, narrowed to $693 million in the first half of 2026 from $2.1 billion in the year-ago period.

Earlier in June, Anthropic had confidentially submitted its draft registration statement to the SEC for the IPO.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic develops AI models and products, including its Claude chatbot and Claude Code, an AI coding assistant.

Anthropic’s filing comes as rival OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is also preparing for a potential public listing.

OpenAI confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the SEC in June 2026. The company has not announced a timeline for its IPO.
