Anthropic sets stage for massive IPO after filing to go public
(Reuters)
Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has confidentially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering.
This move follows a recent $65 billion private funding round, which increased its valuation to $965 billion, making it one of the world’s most valuable startups.
Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatbot, now surpasses rival OpenAI in market value and reports $47 billion in annualized revenue.
The company stated its IPO depends on market conditions and SEC review, with no decision yet on share number or price.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX are all expected to go public despite currently operating at a loss, fueling concerns about an AI bubble.
