Anthropic confidentiality files for IPO amid rapid growth
Anthropic PBC today disclosed that it has confidentially filed to go public.
The company didn’t share any details about its planned listing in the brief blog post that announced the move. Anthropic is widely expected to hold its public offering this year. The stock sale will likely give it a market capitalization above $965 billion, the valuation it received after its most recent funding round.
The timing of today’s announcement is notable. Recent reports indicate that Anthropic may have closed its first profitable quarter over the weekend, an important milestone that could significantly boost investor interest in the IPO.
Last month, sources told CNBC that the company would only turn a profit if its second quarter revenue exceeded $10.9 billion. Last week, Anthropic disclosed that its annual run-rate has topped $47 billion, which amounts to $11.75 billion per quarter. The company’s annualized revenue has more than tripled since February.
