⚡IPO Brief⚡ According to The New York Times, Anthropic's bankers have told potential investors the company could seek to raise more than $100 billion in its IPO at a valuation of $2 trillion, which would make it the largest public offering in history, surpassing SpaceX (which raised $85.7 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation when it listed in June). Bloomberg previously reported that Anthropic expects to file publicly as soon as the end of this month, with the offering size expected to match or exceed SpaceX's record. This expectation is underpinned by extraordinary revenue growth: the company's annualized revenue run rate surpassed $47 billion in May, with Q2 revenue alone reaching $11.5 billion. Investors expect annualized revenue to reach $100-120 billion by December. Notably, CNBC reports that Anthropic's IPO filing is expected to list public backlash against AI and data centers as a risk factor, a signal that the AI wave is now facing scrutiny from public markets.
