Bottom line: Anthropic launches IPO process with $900 billion valuation while OpenAI and SpaceX pursue similar ambitions.
The AI provider Anthropic has filed a confidential application for an initial public offering. The company was last valued at $900 billion.
Anthropic, maker of the Claude AI language model, has filed an application with the SEC for a stock offering. The procedure initially runs confidentially, which means that operational and financial details are withheld from SEC review until the supervisory authority gives the green light.
The company recently completed a funding round of $65 billion and achieved a total valuation of $900 billion. Analysts expect the IPO could rank among the three largest of the year. OpenAI is also credited with an imminent IPO that could take place in similar dimensions. For comparison: SpaceX by Elon Musk, which recently also acquired xAI, could go public in mid-June according to media reports with a targeted valuation of up to $1.8 trillion and raise up to $80 billion in the process.
Questions remain in the market regarding long-term profitability: the massive investment in AI infrastructure in the hundreds of billions must eventually pay off economically, which so far does not appear assured.
