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.
