Bloomberg: Anthropic targets week of Nov 9 for IPO launch, timing fluid
The timing rests on anonymous sources and internal talks are ongoing; watch how the disclosed losses and infrastructure spend get priced.
Bloomberg reported on October 1, citing anonymous sources, that Anthropic plans to begin formally marketing its IPO in the week of November 9, listing before Thanksgiving; SiliconANGLE, relaying the report, notes internal discussions on the exact timeline are ongoing and could change.
According to the prospectus seen by Reuters, Anthropic recorded $4.6 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue, up more than 12 times year over year, alongside an operating loss above $8 billion and a net loss above $42 billion. It plans to spend $518 billion on AI infrastructure in the coming years.
The prospectus devotes several pages to what it calls "existential risks to humanity," citing incidents of self-preserving behavior and information concealment by its models. A delay could create a shockwave across other AI stocks.
