Anthropic said it has filed confidential paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to hold an initial public offering, amid what could be an unprecedented year for flotations on Wall Street.
Aerospace firm SpaceX, which holds a virtual monopoly on space launches in the US, has also filed for what is expected to be a record-breaking IPO, while Anthropic competitor OpenAI is reportedly planning an offering later in 2026.
Anthropic was founded only in 2021, but has grown rapidly in recent years, in part due to its relatively narrow focus on tools for programmers and businesses.
