Anthropic Could Seek $100 Billion IPO at Up to $2 Trillion Valuation

Anthropic, the US artificial intelligence startup, could be valued at as much as $2 trillion, the New York Times reported on Aug. 23.

The newspaper said the banks leading Anthropic’s initial public offering have recently discussed with potential investors a plan to raise more than $100 billion. If that plan materializes, Anthropic could be valued at up to $2 trillion in the IPO.

An offering on those terms would surpass SpaceX’s record June fundraising of $85.7 billion. SpaceX was valued at $1.77 trillion at the time.

Anthropic’s surging revenue has helped drive the higher valuation. Its annualized revenue jumped to more than $65 billion last month.
