Anthropic files for IPO, poised to surpass OpenAI.
Anthropic's move to confidentially submit draft paperwork for a public listing is set to widen its lead over longtime rival OpenAI in the race toward a Wall Street debut. As we reported on June 2, Anthropic had already filed a confidential IPO application, targeting a valuation of over $1 trillion. This latest development further solidifies Anthropic's first-mover advantage, with bankers advising that the current market conditions, including double-digit gains for the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index, make it an ideal time for an IPO.
This move matters because it not only gives Anthropic a significant edge in the highly competitive AI market but also underscores the company's rapid growth, with its valuation more than doubling since February. Anthropic's chatbot Claude and significant deals, such as a $45 billion compute agreement with SpaceX, have contributed to its impressive run-rate revenue of $47 billion, although the company's accounting methods have raised some questions.
As the IPO race between Anthropic and OpenAI heats up, investors and industry watchers will be closely monitoring the next developments. With Anthropic's projected valuation of $300-350 billion and OpenAI's estimated $500 billion, both companies are aiming for valuations representing roughly five times their projected 2028 revenues. The outcome of this race will have significant implications for the AI industry and the future of these two tech giants.
