Key points
- Anthropic’s IPO filing warns US government actions could harm commercial customers and reputation.
- 2025 revenue was roughly $4.6 billion with an operating loss exceeding $8 billion.
- Q2 2026 revenue reached $11.5 billion, with potential IPO valuation between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion.

Prospective investors believe the IPO could value Anthropic between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion, according to Bloomberg.
CEO Dario Amodei met with President Donald Trump recently amid growing calls for AI regulation, which Trump has largely rejected. The Federal Trade Commission is currently conducting an industrywide probe of AI firms, including Anthropic. The prospectus itself has not been made public but is part of the company’s push toward going public, led by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan.
