Anthropic hopes to surpass or match SpaceX's record-breaking IPO in size, according to media reports

Anthropic, one of the leading AI labs, expects its initial public offering to match or exceed the record-breaking IPO of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg this.

According to their reports, Claude, the chatbot developer, is accelerating its preparations for an IPO and may file a public offering by the end of August. However, at recent investor briefings led by Anthropic’s CFO, Krishna Rao, the question of the company’s potential valuation was sidestepped, according to Bloomberg sources.

Anthropic did not promptly respond to the agency's request for comment.

As part of its preparations for its initial public offering, Anthropic is already working with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan, according to Bloomberg; the agency notes that other banks may join the deal in the future.

SpaceX's IPO in mid-June became the largest in the history of the U.S. stock market. Initially, the company raised a record $75 billion during the offering, and later—thanks to an over-allotment option (exercised if the stock rises during the first trading session)—that amount increased to $86.2 billion.

The Financial Times reported last week that Anthropic’s investors expect the AI giant to go public in October with a valuation of $2 trillion. At the same time, Anthropic’s valuation on the private market soared to $1.5 trillion, a 25% increase over the course of a month.
