Anthropic is launching IPO preparations and may go public as early as 2026
On December 3, the Financial Times reported that AI startup Anthropic has retained law firm Wilson Sonsini to kick off preparations for what could be one of the largest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history, with a potential launch as early as 2026.
People familiar with the matter told the FT that the firm is in talks for a private funding round that could value it at over $300 billion. Multiple sources added that Anthropic has been in discussions with several top investment banks about a potential IPO.
These talks remain preliminary and informal, however, and the company has not yet narrowed its list of potential IPO underwriters. An Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement:
“For a company of our size and revenue scale, operating as effectively as a public company is fairly standard. We have not decided when—or if—we will go public, and we have no updates to share at this time.”
