Anthropic Delays IPO Prospectus to Late September, Eyes Mid-October Marketing and $2 Trillion Valuation
Anthropic has pushed its IPO prospectus from early to late September, with investor marketing now planned for mid-October and a possible listing before the November U.S. midterm elections.
Why it matters

What happened
Anthropic is preparing to go public but has revised its timeline. The company had originally been expected to release its IPO prospectus in early September; that has been pushed to late September, with investor marketing now targeted for mid-October and a listing potentially before the November midterm elections. All three sources confirmed this shift. The company is also finalizing a $15 billion revolving credit facility, with Morgan Stanley leading and Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Citigroup involved. Some investors estimate the valuation could approach $2 trillion, though this has not been officially confirmed by the company. Anthropic's annualized revenue was reportedly above $65 billion by the end of July, and its most recent private valuation was $965 billion. The timetable remains fluid and could still change.
