Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the Claude chatbot, filed a confidential draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2026, for a proposed initial public offering.

The company has not yet determined the number of shares to be offered or their price. The final offering remains subject to market conditions and the completion of the SEC review process.

The filing follows a $65 billion Series H funding round that gave Anthropic a post-money valuation of $965 billion, surpassing rival OpenAI, which was valued at $852 billion in March 2026. Anthropic's valuation has risen sharply from $380 billion in February 2026.

Analysts at Wedbush Securities described the potential listings of Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI as an "opening of the floodgates" for an IPO market that had been relatively quiet for several years.

The IPO is expected to give the public its first detailed look at Anthropic's financial data, which analysts say will be a critical test for the sustainability of the current AI market narrative.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said his company is not focused on IPO timing and will proceed "when it makes sense." Anthropic continues to face competition from Google and OpenAI, particularly in coding and enterprise AI applications.
