AI <\/a>giant Anthropic <\/a>said on Monday it has confidentially filed for a US initial public offering, teeing up what could become \u200ca watershed moment for Wall Street\u2019s AI frenzy.<\/p>\n

The move sets up a high-stakes test of whether investor appetite for the AI \u200brevolution that has reshaped white-collar work around the world can match the sky-high expectations surrounding the booming sector.<\/p>\n

Anthropic, which operates AI chatbot Claude, did not disclose the size or the terms of the offering. It last raised $65 billion at \u200ba post-money valuation of $965 billion in late May, putting it ahead of rival OpenAI.<\/p>\n

The crucial step toward a listing comes \u2060on the heels of SpaceX\u2019s mega-IPO, which is on course to rewrite the record books as \u200cthe \u200cElon \u200bMusk-led company pursues a $75 billion offering at a $1.75 trillion valuation.<\/p>\n

Rival OpenAI and Anthropic have become the face of the AI boom that has redrawn \u2060corporate strategies, sparked a global arms race \u200bfor computing power and talent, and turned AI-linked companies \u200binto some of the market\u2019s most richly valued firms.<\/p>\n

Anthropic\u2019s valuation has more than doubled from $380 billion \u200cin February, when it raised $30 billion in \u200ba funding round.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s rapid rise in early 2026 rattled markets, triggering sharp sell-offs in software \u2060and IT stocks as investors worried its \u2060increasingly autonomous AI \u200btools could upend traditional business models and accelerate disruption across industries.<\/p>\n

OpenAI is also preparing to confidentially file for a U.S. IPO in the coming weeks, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters in late May, adding to a wave of blockbuster listings anticipated in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

As a slew of blockbuster listings races toward public markets, companies from SpaceX to AI giants are competing for a finite pool of investor capital.<\/p>\n

The listing \u200cwould represent one of \u2060the most consequential stock market debuts in years, potentially reshaping benchmark indexes, investor flows and the broader narrative driving U.S. equities.<\/p>\n

At close to a $1 trillion valuation, Anthropic would vault into \u200cthe top tier of the S&P 500, alongside a handful of elite companies that dominate global equity markets.<\/p>\n

An Anthropic \u200bdebut would be a major boost for the long-sluggish IPO market, though \u200bexperts and bankers warn an offering of such scale could drain liquidity and investor attention from smaller listings. \u2013 Reuters<\/p>\n
