Anthropic is reportedly preparing to file for an initial public offering as soon as the end of August, following a confidential draft S-1 submitted to the SEC in June. The AI company, last valued at $965 billion, is said to be eyeing a debut that could rival or exceed SpaceX's record $75 billion IPO.
Anthropic is preparing to file for an initial public offering as early as the end of August, according to sources cited by Crypto Briefing. The San Francisco-based AI safety company, known for its Claude model, submitted a confidential draft S-1 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in June, and its chief financial officer has since led investor meetings.
The company raised a $65 billion Series H round in April 2026, which set its valuation at $965 billion. Market participants appear to interpret the fresh IPO preparation as a sign that Anthropic is moving from private to public markets, potentially reflecting confidence in its growth trajectory.
Its IPO could also rival or surpass the record set by SpaceX earlier this year. SpaceX's June 2026 IPO raised $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, the largest listing to date, and recent reports suggest Anthropic's valuation expectations could reach $2 trillion or more.
Observers are watching for the SEC's response to the S-1 filing, along with any ticker assignment or roadshow scheduling that would signal the offering is close. Strategic moves by major investors such as Amazon and Google could provide further insight into the expected timeline and scale of the IPO.
