The AI firm’s confidential filing signals a potential revival of tech IPOs after a prolonged lull in public listings.
Anthropic has submitted a confidential filing for a US initial public offering, marking a key step toward a high-profile tech listing. The company, developer of the AI model Claude, did not disclose share count or pricing, citing market conditions as a determining factor for timing.
The move follows a $65 billion Series H funding round in May, which valued Anthropic at $965 billion. Analysts view the filing as a strategic effort to outpace competitors like OpenAI, which may also pursue an IPO, amid a broader push by private tech firms to access public markets.
Wedbush analysts described the filing as a potential catalyst for reopening the IPO window, which has been subdued in recent years. The development coincides with preparations by other major tech companies for potential listings, signaling renewed investor appetite for growth-stage offerings.
