Anthropic Files for IPO: Claude’s Maker Nears a Trillion-Dollar Valuation as the AI IPO Race Heats Up
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, says on its website (June 1, 2026) that it has filed paperwork to sell shares to the public, beginning the IPO process with no price or timing set yet. Coverage cited in the script claims Anthropic’s annual revenue run-rate rose from about $9B a year ago to $47B today, it recently raised $65B, and its valuation reached roughly $965B. The script frames the filing as a strategic move ahead of OpenAI’s expected IPO and alongside SpaceX’s filing, potentially opening the “floodgates” for major AI listings. It highlights Anthropic’s business-heavy revenue (about 80%), including over 1,000 businesses paying $1M/year, strong growth from Claude Code, and investor interest tied to advances like the unreleased Claude Mythos model.
