AI Giant Anthropic Confidentially Files for IPO
@anthropicai @anthropicai on x
Anthropic has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pending completion of SEC review, this gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering. Read more: https://www.anthropic.com/...

Anthropic filing confidentially now seems to put it on a path to go public well before Labor Day... Or at least gives it the optionality. Big companies rarely price into summer vacations, but this already is an outlier for so many reasons.

worth noting: filing first ≠ pricing first a confidential draft S-1 starts the SEC clock but sets no date

The only part of the AI boom that seems reasonably priced right now is the labs themselves. Retail will fix that real quick.

Here we go: Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC The most important question: who will go public first, OpenAI or Anthropic? OpenAI wanted to beat Anthropic to the punch, but now Anthropic seems to be in a hurry. Currently, Anthropic's valuation is higher. The [i…

the first time i visited Anthropic it was a 160-person start-up in Jackson Square with no products and no revenue. there was an office throne made of empty Liquid Death cans and everyone seemed vaguely allergic to making money. that was THREE YEARS AGO. now they're going to go pu…

If you think money in DC is pervasive now... Anthropic, SpaceX, OAI — huge IPOs are equipping a generation of new political donors whose financial capital dwarfs that of legacy mega-donors

Both OpenAI and Anthropic are racing to IPO ahead of each other and catch up to SpaceX/xAI. The problem is whoever lands first probably sets the floor and ceiling for public market pricing that others will follow into for at least 12-18 months. Then it will come down to the

“Confidentially submitted a draft registration statement.” Translation: Altimeter, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia would like their money back now please, and the private rounds have officially run out of road.

Reminder that the ability to confidentially file for an IPO was a 2012 rule change meant to ease small companies (revenue < $1b) to the markets. It was later expanded but what are we even doing here
@hkarthik Karthik Hariharan on x
It's funny how people thought raising a mere $50B was going to slow Anthropic from doing an IPO this year. The frontier labs need capital to keep scaling. And they've exhausted the private market's appetite for more risk. They have no choice but to go public.

@tenobrus @tenobrus on x
buying into the anthropic IPO at $1T valuation would obviously be an incredible deal, 22x multiple on ARR, huge room to grow, countless markets untapped, mythos as of yet unmonetized. kind of thing people dump whole retirement portfolios into. which is why it'll be $3T

breaking: Anthropic has confidentially filed to go public, which could bring an I.P.O. as soon as this year this follows filings from SpaceX and, likely soon, OpenAI with that, the A.I. IPO thunderdome begins https://www.nytimes.com/...
@tenobrus @tenobrus on x
is it still a smart idea to buy at $3T? i mean probably yeah. but kinda the whole point of markets is if literally everyone wants to do the same thing then it gets a lot more expensive

We just learned Anthropic will file for a $1 trillion IPO. — The path we are on is: AI makes a small number of people very rich, but millions lose work. — That must change. — Tax AI. Use the money to create jobs so unemployment doesn't rise.

‘The average post-IPO stock returned 20% less than the broader market over the 3 years after its first trading day. Firms valued at over 40x revenue underperformed by 58%. SpaceX, with a valuation of $1.75trn, would begin trading at over 90 times its revenue.’ www.economist.com…

SK Telecom invested ~$100M in the same round, a bigger check even than Spark (the institutional lead). It's unclear how much they've invested in later rounds, but doing some back of the envelope math, I'd assume ~$6B, which is 35% of their $17B market cap
