Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI model, filed its Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday (October 26). The document paves the way for the company's initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT.
The public filing follows a confidential registration in June. In the S-1, Anthropic reports $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, compared to about $1.2 billion in the same period the previous year. The net loss for the period reached $80.7 billion, largely due to non-cash accounting adjustments related to convertible notes.
The filing highlights enterprise business growth: more than 11,900 customers spent at least $100,000 in the past twelve months, 1,900 exceeded $1 million, and about 250 reached $10 million or more. The company also details billion-dollar compute infrastructure commitments with partners including SpaceX, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
The governance structure provides that the seven co-founders, through a Founder LLC and special class shares, will retain majority voting power after the listing. The number of shares and price range have not yet been set. Market reports point to valuations in the $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion range and potential to raise up to about $100 billion, which would place the IPO among the largest in history and ahead of a possible OpenAI public listing.
The document includes dozens of pages of risk factors, including challenges in balancing AI safety and commercial objectives. Anthropic describes AI as one of the most consequential technologies in human history and states it aims to realize its benefits while navigating the risks.
