Anthropic just filed for one of the biggest IPOs ever — and the numbers are wild.
H1 2026 revenue hit $16.3B (up ~1,300% from $1.2B). Net loss was ~$80.7B, mostly non-cash from convertible note revaluations. Operating picture is tighter than the headline loss suggests.
They’re aiming for Nasdaq under ticker ANT, potentially raising $100B+ at a $1.5–2T valuation. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are leading. Founders keep control via a special share with 50.1% voting power. Listing expected mid-November.
The real story is the trade-off: explosive enterprise growth (Claude) versus massive, hard-to-cancel compute commitments and intensifying competition. Public markets will now price that in real time.
Would you buy ANT on day one, or wait to see how the valuation settles against the cost structure??
