FinanceCBCAnthropic files for potentially biggest IPO ever, even as CEO warns of AI risks to humanity
AI company Anthropic has filed for what could be the biggest stock market debut ever, potentially valuing it at up to two trillion US dollars.
Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic filed papers on Monday for what could be the biggest initial public offering of stock ever.
Anthropic, the San Francisco AI company behind the chatbot Claude, filed paperwork Monday for a stock market listing expected next month.
The IPO could raise up to 100 billion US dollars, potentially eclipsing SpaceX's record 86 billion dollar debut in June.
The listing would make Anthropic one of the world's most valuable public companies, even though it is still running at a significant loss.
Anthropic reported a net loss of 80.7 billion US dollars in the first half of 2026, so despite the hype, it is not yet profitable before it lists.
