Anthropic expects IPO to match or exceed SpaceX's record

BlockBeats News, August 21st, According to sources familiar with the matter, artificial intelligence company Anthropic is expected to have an IPO size that matches or exceeds the record set by SpaceX. As this AI enterprise accelerates its listing preparations, a mega IPO is in the works.

Sources mentioned that Anthropic is conducting relevant calculations and is preparing to publicly submit a potential large-scale IPO application as early as the end of this month. They revealed that a recent investor call led by CFO Claire avoided discussions on valuation.

Data shows that rocket and satellite company SpaceX raised $75 billion during its IPO, making it the largest IPO in history. Due to the exercise of the so-called greenshoe option, this number eventually rose to $86.2 billion. This mechanism is usually triggered when the stock experiences an initial uptick after listing.

Anthropic's ambitions reflect how leading companies in the AI industry are reshaping the landscape of tech investments in a very short period. Earlier reports indicated that Anthropic's preliminary Q2 revenue exceeded $11.5 billion, compared to just $787 million for the same period in 2025. As of the end of July, the company's annualized revenue run rate had reached $65 billion.
