Anthropic files for IPO in major AI market debut

Summarised from 2 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 26 Oct, 14:19 · Archive

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has filed to list on the Nasdaq, with a Wall Street debut expected next month.

Anthropic has filed papers to sell shares to the public for the first time, laying out its ambitions to build artificial intelligence systems capable of transforming the global economy. The company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol 'ANT', with a Wall Street debut expected next month.

The prospectus highlights Anthropic's rapid growth over the past year, fuelled by major tech firms' breakneck spending in AI. In the first half of 2026, the company's net loss widened sharply to $US80.7 billion, largely due to a rise in the fair value of bonds convertible into shares. Revenue in this period was about $US16.3 billion. The IPO would give Anthropic access to capital to fund its costly AI ambitions, which require heavy investment in computing infrastructure.

Some current and prospective investors are valuing Anthropic at about $US1.5 trillion, down from roughly $US2 trillion a week ago after the company disclosed financial details at a recent investor event. The IPO is expected to establish Anthropic as a benchmark for how Wall Street values leading AI companies, including rival OpenAI. Anthropic is pressing ahead with its listing plans even as market volatility has prompted other companies to delay offerings.
