BREAKING

Anthropic is reportedly heading to Nasdaq for a potential October 2026 IPO with investors discussing a valuation around $2 trillion

That would put Anthropic above SpaceX’s recent roughly $1.75T listing and could make this one of the biggest IPOs ever

What makes this interesting is the growth behind the valuation. Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate reportedly climbed from around $1B in late 2024 to about $47B by May 2026, while investors are now projecting $100B to $120B by year end

Nasdaq landing both major AI and tech listings could also strengthen its position against NYSE for future mega tech IPOs

But there is another side to the story

Sam Altman says OpenAI will not go public in 2026, pointing to the current AI safety environment and saying an IPO right now would be ill advised

So we could be watching two very different strategies play out at the same time

Anthropic moving toward public markets while OpenAI stays private

If Anthropic actually reaches a $2T valuation, the IPO could become a major test for how much the market is willing to pay for AI growth

And for crypto markets, this matters too

A huge AI IPO could bring fresh attention and liquidity toward the broader tech and AI narrative
