Anthropic confidentially files for US IPO as it looks to beat OpenAI
Anthropic said on Monday, June 1, it had confidentially filed for its US initial public offering, as the AI heavyweight looks to beat archrival OpenAI to the IPO market.
Anthropic, which operates AI chatbot Claude, last raised $65 billion at a post-money valuation of $965 billion in late May, putting it ahead of rival OpenAI.
The much-awaited IPO comes as Elon Musk’s SpaceX is expected to launch its roadshow on June 4, with the rocket and satellite maker likely to target raising about $75 billion at a valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion.
Wall Street is betting 2026 could be a breakout year for the US IPO market, underpinned by a strong pipeline of high-profile private companies and pent-up demand for new listings.
Goldman Sachs predicted earlier this year that proceeds from US IPOs could vault to a record $160 billion in 2026, should the marquee names go public this year. – Rappler.com
