Anthropic is preparing for an IPO that could match or exceed SpaceX’s record offering, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The Claude developer could publicly file as soon as late August, with CFO Krishna Rao leading recent investor meetings without discussing valuation.
SpaceX raised
$75 billion in its IPO, later reaching
$86.2 billion after its greenshoe option. Anthropic, founded five years ago, raised
$65 billion in May at a
$965 billion valuation, while OpenAI raised
$122 billion at an
$852 billion valuation in March.
Anthropic posted positive adjusted operating results in Q2, while preliminary revenue topped
$11.5 billion versus
$787 million a year earlier. Its annualized revenue run rate reached
$65 billion by late July. The company is also finalizing a revolving credit facility expected to exceed
$10 billion.
Anthropic is positioned to go public before OpenAI, which is targeting 2027. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are advising on the IPO.
