Anthropic Expected to Reach $100 Billion Annualized Revenue by End of 2026, Reports Say
According to the New York Times, Anthropic PBC is projected to achieve an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $100 billion in 2026. This rapid growth reflects strong adoption of its Claude AI software among business customers for tasks like coding and workflow automation. The company has accelerated plans toward a potential IPO as early as November after previously reporting a jump from $9 billion at the end of 2025 to over $65 billion by July 2026. Anthropic is preparing confidentially filed paperwork with regulators for its public listing, alongside OpenAI. Multiple reports indicate that Anthropic may begin marketing its IPO in mid-October and complete it before U.S. midterm elections in November. The company recently hosted a venture capital forum to discuss AI advancements while also addressing concerns about the risks of future models. Despite growing revenue momentum, Anthropic faces public scrutiny over potential harms from advanced AI systems. CEO Dario Amodei has joined calls for slowing down development on more powerful AI models.
