AI Powerhouse Anthropic Nears Historic IPO with a $965B Valuation as Revenue Skyrockets to $47B

Washington D.C. / San Francisco, June 15, 2026 — Artificial intelligence titan, Anthropic, the creator of the Claude AI chatbot, is inching towards what could potentially be one of the most significant IPOs in Wall Street history. The company confidentially submitted its S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2026, on the heels of a staggering $65 billion Series H-1 funding round that catapulted its valuation to an estimated $965 billion.

The submission paves the way for a probable public debut anticipated in late 2026. Prediction markets are currently pricing an 89.5% probability of an Anthropic IPO before December 31, 2026. As per Fortune, Anthropic is predicted to join SpaceX and OpenAI as one of the three trillion-dollar listings of the year.

The financial backdrop is extraordinary: Anthropic’s annualized revenue hit $47 billion in May 2026, a leap from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025 — a more than fivefold increase in just five months. This surge is primarily driven by enterprise adoption and the success of Claude Code. The company has informed investors that it anticipates reporting its first profitable quarter in Q2 2026, with a projected operating profit of around $559 million on expected revenue of $10.9 billion.

President and co-founder Daniela Amodei elucidated at the Bloomberg Tech conference that access to public capital is crucial given AI’s enormous infrastructure costs — costs that Goldman Sachs estimates will total $7.6 trillion industry-wide from 2026 to 2031. Senior Anthropic technical staff are also currently in Washington D.C. meeting with White House officials to resolve an ongoing regulatory dispute involving its newest AI models.
