Anthropic files its IPO prospectus publicly and plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as “ANT”

The share count and price range are not set yet. Two outlets each report $16.3bn of first-half revenue and an $80.7bn net loss, mostly from accounting charges.

Why it matters: It puts the accounts of one of the three biggest makers of frontier AI models in public for the first time, and the listing will show what public investors will pay for such a lab.

Anthropic, PBC filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday 26 October. The SEC's EDGAR index shows the filing accepted at 09:00 under accession number 0001628280-26-067168. In its own announcement, Anthropic says it intends to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ANT”, and that the number of shares and the price range have not yet been determined. The registration statement is not yet effective, so no shares can be sold yet.

The prospectus is too large for our reader to open, so the figures below are as two outlets each reported them. TechCrunch and Yahoo Finance both report revenue of $16.3bn in the first half of 2026 and a net loss of $80.7bn through June, mostly from accounting charges. Engadget and Unite.AI both report $141.1bn of capital raised as of 30 June 2026 and $112.4bn of cash and cash equivalents.

The public filing follows a confidential draft. On 22 October the Switchboard ran Reuters' report, from a draft prospectus, of an $80.7bn first-half loss; on 25 October it reported that the prospectus was still not on EDGAR. That has now changed. No listing date is given in the pages we read.

Anthropic's announcement names Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as the places to get the preliminary prospectus once it is available.
