The Biggest AI IPO in History: Anthropic Confidentiality Files for Public Listing at $965 Billion Valuation

Business Desk: Global financial markets are bracing for unprecedented capital flows. Anthropic, the highly backed AI safety research firm and creator of the popular ‘Claude’ AI model family, has confidentially submitted its initial public offering (IPO) draft documents to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The highly anticipated market debut is tentatively slated for October 2026.

Key highlights for investors:

• Unprecedented $965 Billion Valuation: Financial underwriters are targeting an initial valuation cap close to $965 billion, immediately positioning Anthropic among the highest-valued tech debuts in corporate history upon listing.

• Front-running OpenAI: With OpenAI’s internal plans for a public market debut reportedly delayed until late 2027, Anthropic’s aggressive move to tap the public capital markets first is expected to trigger significant liquidity reallocations across pre-IPO tech funds and tech-heavy indices.
