Mon, 01 Jun 2026 AI giant Anthropic says it plans to list on US stock market

The AI company behind Claude is set to offer the public shares of stock sometime this year.
Anthropic, an AI giant behind popular chatbot Claude, plans to go public in the US as it files confidential paperwork with the SEC to make an initial public offering (IPO) this year. This comes after raising funds from private investors that valued the company at over $965 billion. The valuation surpasses OpenAI's recent private valuation of $852 billion and puts Anthropic ahead of its rival. Anthropic was founded by CEO Dario Amodei, who previously worked with OpenAI before leaving due to disagreements with its CEO Sam Altman. The two companies are now fierce rivals in the AI space, developing similar technology and competing for users and corporate customers. OpenAI is also reportedly considering going public this year but has stated it's not in a rush. Anthropic's IPO will be closely watched by investors as it attempts to set a new benchmark for valuing generative AI companies. The company is expected to turn a profit in the first half of 2026, driven by significant growth in sales of its Claude product and related services.
