Anthropic’s pending IPO filing could raise up to $100 billion, sources say
Investors await the AI firm’s S‑1 filing, expected Friday, that could value Anthropic at up to $2 trillion.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Wall Street sources told the New York Post that Anthropic, the AI firm led by CEO Dario Amodei, is likely to make its official S‑1 filing public on Friday, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs serving as lead underwriters. The filing could raise as much as $100 billion and value the company at up to $2 trillion.
What happened
Anthropic confidentially filed a draft S‑1 with regulators in June, and parts of that draft have already leaked to the press. Sources say the final filing may be released early next week, but the consensus is that Friday is the most probable date. The IPO is slated for mid‑November, and the underwriters expect the offering to be sizable enough to attract a broad set of investors.
What the reports add
The New York Post reports that the company’s S‑1 will reveal a first‑half‑year loss of up to $80 billion, according to unnamed sources. It also notes that Anthropic’s revenue grew to about $16 billion in the third quarter, a 50 percent increase from the previous period, though growth has slowed. The filing is expected to detail extensive risk factors, including the volatility of AI‑related stocks such as Nvidia and Oracle.

How it came about
Anthropic’s IPO plans have been covered by Felo News in recent weeks. On 9 October, Felo reported that large investors were holding cash for Anthropic’s “mega‑IPO” targeting a $2 trillion valuation. Earlier filings revealed a $42 billion net loss for 2025 and highlighted existential AI risk, while a 19 September piece noted the firm’s aim for a $100 billion annualised revenue run rate. These earlier reports provide context for the expected S‑1 details on loss magnitude, revenue growth, and risk disclosures.
