Anthropic PBC is targeting an initial public offering that would match or exceed SpaceX's record-setting share sale, according to Bloomberg. The company confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed IPO of its common stock.

SpaceX's debut set the all-time record for a first-time share sale at $75 billion, a number that climbed to $86.2 billion once the overallotment option was exercised. Anthropic could file publicly as soon as the end of this month, though discussions remain ongoing and details, including the size of the offering, could change, according to Bloomberg, which cited unnamed sources.
