Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the Claude chatbot, publicly filed its initial public offering paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, October 26, 2026. According to the S-1 filing, the company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. The filing is reported to show a net loss of about $80 billion in the first half of 2026. Anthropic has not said how many shares it will sell or at what price. Reports say the listing could value the company at up to $2 trillion. The Associated Press has reported that private investors valued the company at $965 billion earlier this year.

What is contested

Where accounts differ

Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.

  • Anthropic’s first-half 2026 net loss

    Straight Arrow News gives $80.6 billion; The Hill and the New York Post give $80.7 billion. The gap is small, but the reported figures do not match.

  • The listing could value Anthropic at up to $2 trillion

    Straight Arrow News and the New York Post cite reports of a value up to $2 trillion. Straight Arrow News notes that recent revenue has led some investors to push for a lower valuation, and The Hill cites a $965 billion private valuation earlier this year.
