AI unicorn Anthropic has officially filed its S-1 with the SEC, planning a Nasdaq IPO under the ticker "ANT" with a target valuation of approximately $2 trillion and potential fundraising up to $100 billion. The filing reveals that revenue surged to $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, growing over 1,300% year-on-year, while achieving adjusted operating profitability in Q2 with an 85% gross margin.

Cross-referenced sources indicate that the reported $80.7 billion net loss is primarily due to non-cash accounting adjustments from convertible notes held by Amazon and Google, rather than operational deficits. Actual operating losses were only about $700 million. Compute costs as a percentage of revenue dropped significantly from 250% to 48%, reflecting improved efficiency. Meanwhile, Anthropic has secured long-term compute procurement contracts worth over $500 billion from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Broadcom, maintaining founder control through a dual-class share structure.

As the first pure large-model company to go public, Anthropic sets a critical financial benchmark for the industry. Its prospectus notably dedicates extensive space to warning about AI existential risks, highlighting safety as a core element of its commercial narrative. This move precedes competitor OpenAI and marks a new phase where leading AI labs seek scale through capital markets.

LATEST/Anthropic is expected to complete its IPO by mid-November, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Recent disclosures show enterprise customers paying over $100,000 annually surged to 11,900 within a year. The company is also actively cracking down on policy-violating clients, such as those engaging in model distillation, reinforcing its compliance and security image in the enterprise market.
