Anthropic has submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on a confidential basis.
The filing concerns a proposed initial public offering of its common stock, though specific terms such as the number of shares to be offered and the price range have not yet been determined
The company stated that the proposed initial public offering would proceed only after the SEC concludes its review process, and any actual listing will depend on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The confidential submission follows established regulatory procedure and is being made under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933. According to the company, this does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
Anthropic’s confidential filing comes amid increased attention on AI companies considering entry into public markets. Reports indicate that the company last completed a funding round in late May, raising $65bn at a post-money valuation of $965bn. In recent months, reports have suggested that other major technology companies are also planning public listings.
