Summary
Anthropic filed for an IPO on Monday morning, aiming to take the company public in November.
The prospectus showed first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion and a net loss of $80.7 billion.
Share count and price range remain undisclosed. Previous reports have suggested a raise of as much as $100 million at a $2 trillion valuation.
“We believe that AI is one of the most consequential technologies in human history,” said the company. “If managed well, it could rapidly accelerate scientific innovation, greatly increase economic growth rates, bring cures for major diseases within reach, and solve problems that have resisted generations of human effort.”
Chip stocks rose in pre-market trading after the filing with NVDA and AVGO up 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively, while Micron (MU) rose by 2.3%.
On the crypto exchange Hyperliquid, traders can already bet on Anthropic’s expected share price before it lists, using a contract called ANTH. The price jumped to about $1,980 around 9 a.m. ET, when the S-1 was due out, then dropped roughly 6% to about $1,857 within minutes. It was trading near $1,875 shortly after 12:05 UTC. Around $12 million changed hands in 24 hours.
