Anthropic to List on Nasdaq Ahead of Potential IPO
Anthropic PBC is set to list its upcoming initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq, according to a source familiar with the matter. The AI chatbot company could raise as much as or more than SpaceX's record-setting $86.3 billion IPO in June and may go public as soon as October. A Nasdaq listing would align Anthropic with several high-profile US tech companies that have chosen the exchange this year, including SK Hynix Inc., which raised $26.5 billion in July. Anthropic is preparing for an IPO amid a surge of AI-related activity and growing investor interest. The company was set to finalize a $15 billion revolving credit facility earlier this month and is projected to generate annualized revenue exceeding $65 billion, up more than sevenfold from the end of last year. Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei joined Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Elon Musk in calling for slower AI development due to safety concerns. The US IPO market has seen a resurgence this year with over $160.6 billion raised, excluding blank-check firms — the highest since 2021.
