The latest plans could see Anthropic completing its listing days before the US mid-term elections in November.

Anthropic is expected to delay its initial public offering to mid-October at the earliest, Reuters news reported late last week.

The delay pushes plans back by a month, according to sources, who told Reuters that the AI giant initially aimed to make its IPO prospectus public as early as this week.

The latest plans would see Anthropic completing its listing days before the US mid-term elections in November. The IPO process was initially expected to kickstart before the end of August.

Anthropic is expected to make a historical IPO debut, with investors hoping the company rakes in $75bn or more, surpassing SpaceX as the largest listing.
