Anthropic wants to match or beat SpaceX’s record IPO size - report
Anthropic is reportedly preparing a public listing and wants its IPO to match or exceed SpaceX’s record-breaking debut, signaling one of the largest potential AI market listings ever. The company is said to be reviewing financial projections, aiming to file as soon as the end of the month, and is also arranging a revolving credit facility that could top its $10 billion target. Anthropic’s reported preliminary Q2 revenue exceeded $11.5 billion, with a $65 billion annualized run rate by the end of July, though it still posted a large net loss in 2025. The news underscores growing investor appetite for leading AI firms and could intensify competition with OpenAI, which is reportedly targeting a 2027 IPO. The article also highlights major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan, working on the deal, reinforcing expectations for a high-profile, capital-intensive listing.
